This book, with its very concise style, allowed Ramanujan to teach himself mathematics, but the style of the book was to have a rather unfortunate effect on the way Ramanujan was later to write down mathematics since it provided the only model that he had of written mathematical arguments.
Ang librong ito, kasama ang kanyang tunay maikli at estilo, pinahihintulutan Ramanujan na magturo matematika kanyang sarili, ngunit ang estilo ng libro ay sa may isang kapus-palad sa halip na epekto sa paraan Ramanujan ay mamaya na isulat matematika dahil ito ay ibinigay lamang ng modelo na niya ng mga nakasulat na matematiko arguments.
