They were found first in 1894 by Rogers, a mathematician of great talent but comparatively little reputation, now remembered mainly from Ramanujan 's rediscovery of his work. Rogers was a fine analyst, whose gifts were, on a smaller scale, not unlike Ramanujan 's; but no one paid much attention to anything he did, and the particular paper in which he proved the formulae was quite neglected.
Sila ang natagpuan sa unang 1894 by Rogers, isang dalub-agbilang ng mga dakilang talento ngunit medyo maliit mabuting pangalan, ngayon remembered pangunahin mula sa Ramanujan 's rediscovery ng kanyang trabaho. Rogers ay isang mabuting Analyst, na ang mga regalo ay, sa isang mas maliit na antas, hindi iba Ramanujan 's; ngunit walang bayad na marami pansin sa kahit na ano siya did, at ang partikular na papel na kung saan siya proved ang formulae ay lubos na napapabayaan.
