Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space. The points could be an infinite collection of electrons ...

It's a common joke that Python makes a great calculator in its interactive mode. You can make it an even better one with the built-in math module, which contains a lot of the same math functions you ...

In this paper, we derive a class of approximations of the 𝑞-digamma function 𝜓𝑞(𝑥). The infinite family I a ( x;q )=log [ x+a ] q + q x logq 1− q x −( 1 2 −a )H( q−1 )logq, can be used as ...

“There are five fundamental operations in mathematics,” the German mathematician Martin Eichler supposedly said. “Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modular forms.” Part of the joke, ...
