Ramanujan's Lost Notebook

Abstract

In Chapter 3, Section 3.1, we defined Ramanujan’s ten fifth order mock theta functions, and in Chapter 5 we stated the ten mock theta conjectures. The point of the latter chapter was to reveal that the conjectures could be separated into two groups of 5 each and that the conjectures within each group are equivalent.
