Extract
1. In his paper ‘On certain arithmetical functions' Ramanujan (23) considers the function τ(n) defined by the expansion
This function appears in the discussion of an asymptotic formula for the function
and also in Ramanujan's formula for the number of representations of an integer as the sum of 24 squares. It is also of interest as the coefficient in the expansion of g(z), which plays an important part in the theory of modular functions.
