| | | | | In today's post, I investigate a simple recurrence relation and show how it is possible to describe its behaviour asymptotically at large times. The relation describing how the series evolves at a time n will depend both on its value at the earlier time n/2 and on whether n is even or odd, which, as... | |

| | | | | 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... | |

| | | The following hints atwhy the quintic equation cannot be solved using radicals. It follows the approach in the first part of Ian Stewart's book "Galois Theory". If time permits, a future post will summarise the approach in V. B. Alekseev's book "Abel's Theorem in Problems and Solutions". Another candidate is Klein's book "Lectures on the... | ||
