Moessner's theorem

In number theory, Moessner's theorem or Moessner's magicis related to an arithmetical algorithm to produce an infinite sequence of the exponents of positive integers with by recursively manipulating the sequence of integers algebraically. The algorithm was first published by Alfred Moessner in 1951; the first proof of its validity was given by Oskar Perron that same year. For example, for , one can remove every even number, resulting in , and then add each odd number to the sum of all previous elements, providing . (Wikipedia).

The Moessner Miracle. Why wasn't this discovered for over 2000 years?

Today's video is about a mathematical gem that was discovered 70 years ago. Although it's been around for quite a while and it's super cool and it's super accessible, hardly anybody knows about it. 00:00​ Intro 04:58 Chapter 1: Making our own proof 09:55​ Chapter 2: Some more amazing fac

The Iron Man hyperspace formula really works (hypercube visualising, Euler's n-D polyhedron formula)

On the menu today are some very nice mathematical miracles clustered around the notion of mathematical higher-dimensional spaces, all tied together by the powers of (x+2). Very mysterious :) Some things to look forward to: The counterparts of Euler's polyhedron formula in all dimensions, a

Berge's lemma, an animated proof

Berge's lemma is a mathematical theorem in graph theory which states that a matching in a graph is of maximum cardinality if and only if it has no augmenting paths. But what do those terms even mean? And how do we prove Berge's lemma to be true? == CORRECTION: at 7:50, the red text should

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to
