Throughout more than two millennia many formulas have been obtained, some of them beautiful, to calculate the number pi. Among them, we can find series, infinite products, expansions as continued fractions and expansions using radicals. Some expressions which are (amazingly) related to pi have been evaluated. In addition, a continual battle has been waged just to break the records computing digits of this number; records have been set using rapidly converging series, ultra fast algorithms and really surprising ones, calculating isolated digits. The development of powerful computers has played a fundamental role in these achievements of calculus.

This paper is an exposition and review of the research related to the Riemann Hypothesis starting from the work of Riemann and ending with a description of the work of G. Spencer-Brown.
This is a collection of definitions, notations and proofs for the Bernoulli numbers $B_n$ appearing in formulas for the sum of integer powers, some of which can be found scattered in the large related historical literature in French, English and German. We provide elementary proofs for the original convention with ${mathcal B}_1=1/2$ and also for the current convention with $B_1=-1/2$, using only the binomial theorem and the concise Blissard symbolic (umbral) notation.
In this paper will be proved the existence of a formula to reduce a tetration of base $2^{k}$ and $5^{k}$ $mod 10^{n}$. Indeed, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyper-exponent; In order to compute the last digits of those expressions we reduce them $mod 10^{n}$. Lots of different formulas will be derived, for different cases of $k$ (where $k$ is the exponent of the base of the tetration). This kind of operation is fascinating, because the tetration grows very fast. But using these formulas we can actually have informations about the last digits of those expressions. Its possible to use these results on a software in order to reduce tetrations $mod 10^{n}$ faster.
This is an English translation of the Latin original De summa seriei ex numeris primis formatae ${1/3}-{1/5}+{1/7}+{1/11}-{1/13}-{1/17}+{1/19}+{1/23}-{1/29}+{1/31}-$ etc. ubi numeri primi formae $4n-1$ habent signum positivum formae autem $4n+1$ signum negativum (1775). E596 in the Enestrom index. Let $chi$ be the nontrivial character modulo 4. Euler wants to know what $sum_p chi(p)/p$ is, either an exact expression or an approximation. He looks for analogies to the harmonic series and the series of reciprocals of the primes. Another reason he is interested in this is that if this series has a finite value (which is does, the best approximation Euler gets is 0.3349816 in section 27) then there are infinitely many primes congruent to 1 mod 4 and infinitely many primes congruent to 3 mod 4. In section 15 Euler gives the Euler product for the L(chi,1). As a modern mathematical appendix appendix, I have written a proof following Davenport that the series $sum_p frac{chi(p)}{p}$ converges. This involves applications of summation by parts, and uses Chebyshevs estimate for the second Chebyshev function (summing the von Mangoldt function).
Appearing in 1921 as an equation for small-amplitude waves on the surface of an infinitely deep liquid, the Nekrasov equation quickly became a source of new results. This manifested itself both in the field of mathematics (theory of nonlinear integral equations of A.I. Nekrasov; 1922, later - of N.N. Nazarov; 1941), and in the field of mechanics (transition to a fluid of finite depth - A.I. Nekrasov; 1927 and refusal on the smallness of the wave amplitude - Yu.P. Krasovskii; 1960).The main task of the author is to find out the prehistory of the Nekrasov equation and to trace the change in approaches to its solution in the context of the nonlinear functional analysis development in the 1940s - 1960s. Close attention will be paid to the contribution of European and Russian mathematicians and mechanics: A.M. Lyapunov, E. Schmidt, T. Levi-Civita, A. Villat, L. Lichtenstein, M.A. Krasnoselskii, N.N. Moiseev, V.V. Pokornyi, etc. In the context of the development of qualitative methods for the Nekrasov equation investigating, the question of the interaction between Voronezh school of nonlinear functional analysis under the guidance of Professor M.A. Krasnoselskii and Rostov school of nonlinear mechanics under the guidance of Professor I.I. Vorovich.
