G.H. Hardy, the renowned mathematician and highly respected Fellow of the Royal Society, died on December 1st, 1947 at the age of 70. Born in 1877, Hardy attended Trinity College, Cambridge, where he began his brilliant career in mathematics. He is widely accepted as a major figure and pioneer in the field. The Hardy-Littlewood Maximization Theorem, which laid the foundation for modern additive number theory, is a major scientific contribution of his. His work played a great part in the mathematical theories of the 20th century. Hardy and Littlewood's collaboration on this subject is considered one of the most fruitful of mathematical partnerships. He is also well known for his book “A Mathematician’s Apology," which is often regarded as the greatest defense of mathematics ever written. Hardy was a dedicated mentor and teacher, in addition to his research. He was so influential and generous with his knowledge that he was made an honorary fellow at both his alma maters, Trinity College and University College. He tragically predeceased the completion of his prized "Treatise on the Theory of Number," but through his legacy of research and mentoring, he will never be forgotten in the mathematics community and beyond.
