100-year-old deathbed dreams of mathematician proved true | Fox News

100-year-old deathbed dreams of mathematician proved true | Fox News: "While on his death bed, the brilliant Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan cryptically wrote down functions he said came to him in dreams, with a hunch about how they behaved.
