Abstract
This is the fifth and final volume devoted to an explication of the content of Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers [232]. As the title indicates, [232] features the original “Lost Notebook,” discovered by the first author in the library at Trinity College, Cambridge in the spring of 1976. However, [232] also contains several unpublished manuscripts by Ramanujan, letters that Ramanujan wrote to G.H. Hardy from nursing homes, Ramanujan’s last letter to Hardy, and miscellaneous pages by Ramanujan. It has been our goal to cover all of this material.
