| | | | | In honor of Pi Day 2023, I'd like to discuss Hilbert's 7th Problem, which in an oversimplified (and rather vague) form asks: under what circumstances can a transcendental function take algebraic values at algebraic points? The connection with $latex \pi$ is that Lindemann proved in 1882 that the transcendental function $latex f(z) = e^z$ takes... | |

| | | | | The numbers are usually studied in layers of increasing subtlety and intricacy. We start with the natural, or counting, numbers $latex {\mathbb{N} = \{ 1, 2, 3, \dots \}}&fg=000000$. Then come the whole numbers or integers, $latex {\mathbb{Z} = \{ \dots, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, \dots \}}&fg=000000$. All the ratios of these (avoiding division... | |

| | | | | A famous result of David Hilbert asserts that there exist irreducible polynomials of every degree $latex n$ over $latex {\mathbf Q}$ having the largest possible Galois group $latex S_n$. However, Hilbert's proof, based on his famous irreducibility theorem, is non-constructive. Issai Schur proved a constructive (and explicit) version of this result: the $latex n^{\rm th}$... | |

| | | Let $latex x\in C^{1-var} ([0,T], \mathbb{R}^d)$ and let $latex V : \mathbb{R}^e \to \mathbb{R}^{e\times d} $ be a Lipschitz continuous map. In order to analyse the solution of the differential equation, $latex y(t)=y_0+\int_0^t V(y(s)) dx(s),$ and make the geometry enter into the scene, it is convenient to see $latex V$ as a collection of vector... | ||
