Ramanujan Proved Right After 90 Years

Ramanujan believed that 17 new functions he discovered were "mock modular forms" that looked like theta functions when written out as an infinte sum (their coefficients get large in the same way), but weren't super-symmetric. [...] Emory University mathematician Ken Ono and his team recently proved that these functions indeed mimicked modular forms, but don't share their defining characteristics, such as super-symmetry.
