(2016-12-01)   Mock Theta Functions  (S. Ramanujan, 1920)
The major preoccupation of  Ramanujan in his last days.

Three months before he died,  Ramanujan  coined the term  mock theta functions  in his last letter  to  G.H. Hardy  (January 1920)  ntroducing  17  of them.  In his  lost notebook  (uncovered by George Andrews in 1976)  3  other such functions appear,  although not identified as such.
