756.0. "Ramanujan & Hardy, biographies." by BIRMIC::TURRELL (I'd rather be sleeping...) Tue Sep 01 1987 11:30

   Inspired by recent mentions in this conference of Srinivasa Ramanujan (sp?),
I was moved to read "A Mathematicians Apology" by G.H.Hardy again. However I was
unable to find a copy in the local library. Does anyone know if this book is 
in print and if so where it is available?

   I also seem to remember that there was an excellent biography of G.H.Hardy
in a collection of essays by C.P.Snow. If anyone has details of this as well
I would be extremely grateful.

    Re .0:
    
    Ask your librarian to try to find you a copy.  They should be able to
    get a copy of anything through interlibrary loan.

	And yes, Hardy's book IS still in print; there's a copy of it
	in the math section of my favorite local bookstore.  Let me
	know if you need publication-data to order it or anything.

    ISBN & publishers name should enable me to order it here in the
    U.K., if it doesn't cause you too much trouble.
    
    	Thanks in anticipation,

756.7Can you watch it ?MEIS::WOLFFI feel the need, the need for speedTue Mar 08 1988 12:077
        Chris,

        as stated in another note, you might not be able to watch the
NTSC videotape on your SECAM equipment. Unless of course you have an NTSC
VCR and a TV....
