| | The ``probabilistic method'' is the art of applying probabilistic thinking to non-probabilistic problems. Applications of the probabilistic method often feel like magic. Here is my favorite example: Theorem (Erdös, 1965). Call a set $latex {X}&fg=000000$ sum-free if for all $latex {a, b \in X}&fg=000000$, we have $latex {a + b \not\in X}&fg=000000$. For any finite...

| | Can they inform computational complexity theory? Bill Gasarch and Christian Elsholtz both like primes and jokes and graphs and ways of sharing baked goods. Bill is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland; Elsholtz is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at T.U. Graz in Austria. They recently independently came up with a...

| | The Riemann Hypothesis Perhaps the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics is to explain the distribution of the prime numbers. The overall ``thinning out'' of the primes less than some number $latex {N}&fg=000000$, as $latex {N}&fg=000000$ increases, is well understood, and is demonstrated by the Prime Number Theorem (PNT). In its simplest form, PNT states that...
