The solution may one day lead to advances in particle physics and computer security.It would seem to me it would be an advance in how to hack into systems.

Classic maths puzzle crackedTo me, the biggest puzzle is why the English say "maths" rather than "math"!

I saw Ken Ono give a talk on this. It's a very interesting result and excellent work, but I don't think worthy of a writeup in this magazine -- and such a bad one at that. They're not really telling what this means in any real sense.

See #5 - that's how the English say it.

I didn't know this was such a mystery. They should have asked me -- I worked this out years ago.

Ramanujan was truly one of the great talents. It's a pity that he wasn't lucky enough to be born into better circumstances to develop that talent.

Ramanajun (sp?) was freakishly smart. We will be trying to figure out his work and test his theories for many years to come.

Well, everyone knows the English don't know how to speak English. They took a perfectly good language from us and messed it up with all their weird pronunciations and words.
And if they don't like it, well, they can just stuff it in the "boot" of their car!

who was born in India in 1887 and flunked out of college after just a year because he neglected his studies Or maybe it was because he was only one year old?

Why do we say we are using "Mathematics" and not "Mathematic?"
