description: The so-called Lost Notebook of S.R. Ramanujan was brought to light in 1976 as part of the Watson bequest by G.E. Andrews with whose introduction this collection of unpublished manuscripts opens. A major portion of the Lost Notebook - really just 90 unpaginated sheets of work on q-series and other topics - is reproduced here in facsimile. Letters from Ramanujan to Hardy as well as various other sheets of seemingly related notes are then included on topics including coefficients in the 1/q3 and 1/q2 problems and the mock theta functions. The next 180 pages consist of unpublished manuscripts of Ramanujan including 28 pages from the 'Loose Papers held in the Trinity College Library. Finally a number of interesting letters that were exchanged between Ramanujan Littlewood Hardy and Watson with a bearing on Ramanujan's work are collected together here with other extracts and fragments.
