We especially hoped the book would provide beginning re- searchers, including graduate students and undergraduate students, with a range of accessible topics in which to delve. It seems that we have already been at least somewhat successful because, since the publication of the first edition, a good number of the research prob- lems have been solved or partially solved, and several of the theorems have been improved upon. As a consequence, the new edition includes many substantial revisions and additions. Various new sections have been added and others have been sig- nificantly updated. Among the newly introduced topics are: rainbow Ramsey theory, an “inequality” version of Schur’s theorem, monochro- matic solutions of recurrence relations, Ramsey results involving both sums and products, monochromatic sets avoiding certain differences, Ramsey properties for polynomial progressions, generalizations of the Erd˝os-Ginzberg-Ziv theorem, and the number of arithmetic progres- sions under arbitrary colorings. We also offer many new results and proofs among the topics that are not new to this edition, most of xiii xiv Preface to the Second Edition which were not known when the first edition was published. Further- more, the book’s tables, exercises, lists of open research problems, and bibliography have all been significantly updated. Finally, we have repaired numerous misprints. Acknowledgements We wish to thank a number of individuals for finding errors in the first edition and for helping to improve the exposition of the text, including: Charles Baker, Arie Bialostocki, Srashti Dwivedi, Sohail Farhangi, Paul Frigge, Andraes J¨onsson, Jonathan Leprince, Ryan Matzke, James Henry Sanders, and Hunter Snevily. Special thanks go to Sarah Landman for her careful proofreading. We are grateful to all the readers of the first edition who contacted us with insightful comments and suggestions. We also express our gratitute to our fellow Ramsey theorists for enlightening us on some recent advances in the field and for pointing us to a number of intriguing problems. We appreciate the kind and professional support given to us throughout the process by Edward Dunne, Christine Thivierge, and the rest of the AMS production staff. Bruce Landman adds a special debt of gratitude to his wife, Eleanor, for her support, patience, and sense of humor throughout this endeavor, and to his two wonderful daughters, Emma and Sarah, whoaddsomuchmeaningtoeverythinghedoes.

It is exclusive to IJAMR which has published 8 papers of the author on this new mathematics. The manuscript has NOT been offered to any other journal in the world .The editorial board of Princeton University, USA, Annals of mathematics had been duly informed by letter of the new discovery of the concordance of prime numbers spirals with regular number spirals, but for the sake of fidelity. Mathematics is not complexity, but simplicity, the configuration of 1 is spiral .The relationship between pure mathematical numbers and empty space is a primordial relationship, and well defined by gaps, plus it has been validated by the author by the Publishing of the pure continuous Den-Otter Prime number sieve at 1/6 and 5/6 ( and 1/3 and 2/3),and these prime sieves are reversible .Thus the relationship of the configuration of 1 is in two planes that expand in the frame of (5/6 and 1/6 ) and (1/3 and 2/3)are represented by spiral configuration , expressed by these numbers, as in :All prime numbers spirals are assigned infinitely by the simple -1 offset of the two spiral numbers cords 1/3+2/3=1 5/6+1/6=1 1/3-1/6=1/6 5/6-2/3=1/6 1/3+1/6=0.5 5/6+2/3=1.5 1.5/0.5=3 Note: the above is also confirmed by Arabian numerical shown below.

  • 243 a NUMBER-THEORETIC CONJECTURE and ITS IMPLICATION for SET THEORY 1. Motivation It Was Proved In
    Acta Math. Univ. Comenianae 243 Vol. LXXIV, 2(2005), pp. 243–254 A NUMBER-THEORETIC CONJECTURE AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR SET THEORY L. HALBEISEN 1-1 Abstract. For any set S let seq (S) denote the cardinality of the set of all finite one-to-one sequences that can be formed from S, and for positive integers a let aS denote the cardinality of all functions from S to a. Using a result from combinatorial number theory, Halbeisen and Shelah have shown that even in the absence of the axiom of choice, for infinite sets S one always has seq1-1(S) = 2S (but nothing more can be proved without the aid of the axiom of choice). Combining stronger number-theoretic results with the combinatorial proof for a = 2, it will be shown that for most positive integers a one can prove the inequality seq1-1(S) = aS without using any form of the axiom of choice. Moreover, it is shown that a very probable number-theoretic conjecture implies that this inequality holds for every positive integer a in any model of set theory. 1. Motivation Itwasprovedin[ 3, Theorem 4] that for any set S with more than one element, the cardinality seq1-1(S) of the set of all finite one-to-one sequences that can be formed from S can never be equal to the cardinality of the power set of S, denoted by 2S. The proof does not make use of any form of the axiom of choice and hence, the result also holds in models of set theory where the axiom of choice fails.

  • The Plimpton 322 Tablet and the Babylonian Method of Generating
    The Plimpton 322 Tablet and the Babylonian Method of Generating Pythagorean Triples Abdulrahman A. Abdulaziz University of Balamand Abstract Ever since it was published by Neugebauer and Sachs in 1945, the Old Babylonian tablet known as Plimpton 322 has been the subject of numerous studies leading to different and often conflicting interpretations of it. Overall, the tablet is more or less viewed as a list of fifteen Pythagorean triplets, but scholars are divided on how and why the list was devised. In this paper, we present a survey of previous attempts to interpret Plimpton 322, and then offer some new insights that could help in sharpening the endless debate about this ancient tablet. 1 Introduction Plimpton 322 is the catalog name of an Old Babylonian (OB) clay tablet held at Columbia University. The tablet is named after New York publisher George A. Plimpton who purchased it from archaeology dealer Edgar J. Banks in the early nineteen twenties. In the mid thirties, the tablet, along with the rest of Mr. Plimpton collection, was donated to Columbia University. arXiv:1004.0025v1 [math.HO] 31 Mar 2010 According to Banks, the tablet was found at Tell Senkereh, an archaeological site in southern Iraq corresponding to the ancient Mesopotamian city of Larsa [Robson, 2002]. The preserved portion of the tablet (shown in Figure 1) is approximately 13 cm wide, 9 cm high and 2 cm deep. As can be seen from the picture, a chunk of the tablet is missing from the middle of the right-hand side. Also, the tablet had (before it was baked for preservation) remnants of modern glue on its damaged left-hand side suggesting that it might be a part of a larger tablet, the discovery of the remainder of which, if it ever existed, might settle many of the questions we try to answer in this paper.

  • Topological Models for Stable Motivic Invariants of Regular Number Rings 11
    TOPOLOGICAL MODELS FOR STABLE MOTIVIC INVARIANTS OF REGULAR NUMBER RINGS TOM BACHMANN AND PAUL ARNE ØSTVÆR Abstract. For an infinity of number rings we express stable motivic invariants in terms of topological data determined by the complex numbers, the real numbers, and finite fields. We use this to extend Morel’s identification of the endomorphism ring of the motivic sphere with the Grothendieck-Witt ring of quadratic forms to deeper base schemes. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Nilpotent completions 3 3. Rigidity for stable motivic homotopy of henselian local schemes 7 4. Topological models for stable motivic homotopy of regular number rings 9 5. Applications to slice completeness and universal motivic invariants 17 References 20 1. Introduction The mathematical framework for motivic homotopy theory has been established over the last twenty- five years [Lev18]. An interesting aspect witnessed by the complex and real numbers, C, R, is that Betti realization functors provide mutual beneficial connections between the motivic theory and the corresponding classical and C2-equivariant stable homotopy theories [Lev14], [GWX18], [HO18], [BS19], [ES19], [Isa19], [IØ20]. We amplify this philosophy by extending it to deeper base schemes of arithmetic interest. This allows us to understand the fabric of the cellular part of the stable motivic homotopy category of Z[1/2] in terms of C, R, and F3 — the field with three elements. If ℓ is a regular prime, a number theoretic notion introduced by Kummer in 1850 to prove certain cases of Fermat’s Last Theorem [Was82], we show an analogous result for the ring Z[1/ℓ]. For context, recall that a scheme X, e.g., an affine scheme Spec(A), has an associated pro-space Xet´ , denoted by Aet´ in the affine case, called the étale homotopy type of X representing the étale cohomology of X with coefficients in local systems; see [AM69] and [Fri82] for original accounts and [Hoy18, §5] for a modern definition.

It is folklore that the starting point was several unsuccessful geometric attempts to compute the exact values of p2 and p. Ancient records substantiate that more than 5000 years back Vedic Ascetics were successful in approximating these numbers in terms of rational numbers and used these approximations for ritual sacrifices, they also indicated clearly that these numbers are incommensurable. Since then research continues for the known as well as unknown/expected irrational numbers, and their computation to trillions of decimal places. For the advancement of this broad mathematical field we shall chronologically show that each continent of the world has contributed. We genuinely hope students and teachers of mathematics will also be benefited with this article.

Introduction Origin of Irrational Numbers and Their Approximations. Computation Almost from the last 2500 years philosophers have been unsuccessful in providing 2021, 9, 29. https://doi.org/10.3390/ satisfactory answer to the question “What is a Number”? The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, , have ··· computation9030029 been called as natural numbers or positive integers because it is generally perceived that they have in some philosophical sense a natural existence independent of man.
