Ramanujan-Like Congreuences Of The Distinct Partition Function, Ian Blumenfeld, Christi Carlstead, Mimi Cukier, Wesley Terway Dec 2000

Ramanujan-Like Congreuences Of The Distinct Partition Function, Ian Blumenfeld, Christi Carlstead, Mimi Cukier, Wesley Terway

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

In his work with the partition function, Ramanujan observed several congruences of the form p(An + B) = 0 (mod m). We adapt this form to several congruences of the distinct partition function, p2(n). We show that one can determine all ordered pairs of integers (A;B) for which p2(An + B)=0 (mod 2) and show families of congruences modulo 4. Finally, we offer a proof of a congruence modulo 5 satisfied by the distinct partition function.


Torsion-Free Modules Over Reduced Witt Rings, Robert W. Fitzgerald Sep 2000

Torsion-Free Modules Over Reduced Witt Rings, Robert W. Fitzgerald

Articles and Preprints

We compute the genus class group of a torsion-free module over a reduced Witt ring of finite stability index. This is applied to modules locally isomorphic to odd degree extensions of formally real fields.


The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad Jan 2000

The Proof Of Fermat's Last Theorem, Mohamad Trad

Theses Digitization Project

Fermat, Pierre de, is perhaps the most famous number theorist who ever lived. Fermat's Last Theorem states that the equation xn + yn = zn has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n>2.

Definitions, Solved And Unsolved Problems, Conjectures, And Theorems In Number Theory And Geometry, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2000

Definitions, Solved And Unsolved Problems, Conjectures, And Theorems In Number Theory And Geometry, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Florentin Smarandache, an American mathematician of Romanian descent has generated a vast variety of mathematical problems. Some problems are easy, others medium, but many are interesting or unsolved and this is the reason why the present book appears. Here, of course, there are problems from various types. Solving these problems is addictive like eating pumpkin seed: having once started, one cannot help doing it over and over again.
