An Infinite Product Conjecture - Monday Math Nugget #2

Today we're answering a question posed in the comment section of the previous MMN... The conjecture is: since any quotient of finite products of integers cannot be an integer if all factors in the numerator are odd and at least one in the denominator is even, then a quotient of infinite

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

Finding the sum or an arithmetic series using summation notation

👉 Learn how to find the partial sum of an arithmetic series. A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence. The formula for the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by Sn = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d], where a is

Difficulties with real numbers as infinite decimals ( I) | Real numbers + limits Math Foundations 91

There are three quite different approaches to the idea of a real number as an infinite decimal. In this lecture we look carefully at the first and most popular idea: that an infinite decimal can be defined in terms of an infinite sequence of digits appearing to the right of a decimal point

How to determine the infinite sum of a geometric series

👉 Learn how to find the geometric sum of a series. A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. A geometric series is the sum of the terms of a geometric sequence. The formula for the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is given by Sn = a[(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)], where a is the first term

Using mathematical induction to prove a formula

👉 Learn how to apply induction to prove the sum formula for every term. Proof by induction is a mathematical proof technique. It is usually used to prove that a formula written in terms of n holds true for all natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, . . . To prove by induction, we first show that the f

Eric Riedl: A Grassmannian technique and the Kobayashi Conjecture

Abstract: An entire curve on a complex variety is a holomorphic map from the complex numbers to the variety. We discuss two well-known conjectures on entire curves on very general high-degree hypersurfaces X in â„™n: the Green-Griffiths-Lang Conjecture, which says that the entire curves lie
