Have "fractal numbers" already been considered bymathematicians?

Domain of a solution to CP
y'=-(x+1)y^2 + x y(-1)=1 How would you prove that the solution to this problem is (globally) defined on all of R? Kind of lost on this one. Thanks in advance ... 3 May 2010 19:51

Proof in Koblitz's "Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms"
I am currently reading the proof of Proposition 20 on P130 of the book. He defines g(z) = ( eta(z) eta(2z) )^8 and I understand that its q-expansion about infinity is q \prod (1 - q^n)^8 (1 - q^{2n})^8 so that g vanishes at infinity. Now, the sentence I do not get, which may be very easy: "Using the relation e... 3 May 2010 17:37

Scrambled Number-Row Game
Here is a game for any number of players. (I wonder, though, if having an even number of players gives an advantage to some player(s).) Needed: A deck of n flash cards labeled 1, 2, 3, ..., n, one number per card, where n is a multiple of the number of players. The cards are placed face-up in order in a row bet... 6 May 2010 19:52

Number of Factors for a Mersenne Number
Dear All, Sometimes I see this expression: Let Mq=u*v = (2aq+1)(2bq+1) where u and v are primes and Mq a mersenne number. This is true if there are only 2 prime factors of Mq. If we have more than 2 factors then (2bq+1) is not a prime but a product of primes. then (2bq+1)= (2cq+1) (2dq+1) (2eq+1) (2fq+1) .... ... 3 May 2010 10:56

Give me the good old time math.
The Corvallis school board is deciding upon a new math curriculum, one that will focus on mathematical logic and reasoning instead of problem solving. Is this happening elsewhere in the nation? That math will again be taught in math classes? Unfortunately there's yet more emphasis on working in teams and in ... 8 May 2010 22:10

How cool is this?
Hi! Take an arbitrarily large two dimensional table and place pegs onto a finite number of its cells while observing the following rules: 1. Cell (0,0) contains a peg. 2. Cell (0,n) contains a peg if and only if Cell (n,0) contains a peg. 3. Cell (p,q) contains a peg if and only if both Cell (p,0) and Cell ... 3 May 2010 06:35
