We give an example of a formula involving the sinc function that holds for every N = 0, 1, 2, ..., up to about 10^102832732165, then fails for all larger N. We give another example that begins to fail after about N ~ exp(exp(exp(exp(exp(exp(e)))))). This number is larger than the Skewes numbers.

There are many uses for linear fitting; the context here is interpolation and denoising of data, as when you have calibration data and you want to fit a smooth, flexible function to those data. Or you want to fit a flexible function to de-trend a tim e series or normalize a spectrum. In these contexts, investigators often choose a polynomial basis, or a Fourier basis, or wavelets, or something equally general. They also choose an order, or number of basis functions to fit, and (often) some kind of regularization. We discuss how this basis-function fitting is done, with ordinary least squares and extensions thereof. We emphasize that it is often valuable to choose far more parameters than data points, despite folk rules to the contrary: Suitably regularized models with enormous numbers of parameters generalize well and make good predictions for held-out data; over-fitting is not (mainly) a problem of having too many parameters. It is even possible to take the limit of infinite parameters, at which, if the basis and regularization are chosen correctly, the least-squares fit becomes the mean of a Gaussian process. We recommend cross-validation as a good empirical method for model selection (for example, setting the number of parameters and the form of the regularization), and jackknife resampling as a good empirical method for estimating the uncertainties of the predictions made by the model. We also give advice for building stable computational implementations.

Let $M$ be a positive integer and $qin (1, M+1]$. A $q$-expansion of a real number $x$ is a sequence $(c_i)=c_1c_2cdots$ with $c_iin {0,1,ldots, M}$ such that $x=sum_{i=1}^{infty}c_iq^{-i}$. In this paper we study the set $mathcal{U}_q^j$ consisting of those real numbers having exactly $j$ $q$-expansions. Our main result is that for Lebesgue almost every $qin (q_{KL}, M+1), $ we have $$dim_{H}mathcal{U}_{q}^{j}leq max{0, 2dim_Hmathcal{U}_q-1}text{ for all } jin{2,3,ldots}.$$ Here $q_{KL}$ is the Komornik-Loreti constant. As a corollary of this result, we show that for any $jin{2,3,ldots},$ the function mapping $q$ to $dim_{H}mathcal{U}_{q}^{j}$ is not continuous.

By using computers to do experimental manipulations on Fourier series, we construct additional series with interesting properties. For example, we construct several series whose sums remain unchanged when the nth term is multiplied by sin(n)/n. One s eries with this property is this classic series for pi/4: pi/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 ... = 1*(sin(1)/1) - (1/3)*(sin(3)/3) + (1/5)*(sin(5)/5).... Another example is sum (n = 1 to infinity) of (sin(n)/n) = sum (n = 1 to infinity) of (sin(n)/n)^2 = (pi - 1)/2. This material should be accessible to undergraduates. This paper also includes a Mathematica package that makes it easy to calculate and graph the Fourier series of many types of functions.
Do you want to know what an anti-chiece Latin square is? Or what a non-consecutive toroidal modular Latin square is? We invented a ton of new types of Latin squares, some inspired by existing Sudoku variations. We cant wait to introduce them to you a nd answer important questions, such as: do they even exist? If so, under what conditions? What are some of their interesting properties? And how do we generate them?
We study some special features of $F_{24}$, the holomorphic $c=12$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) given by 24 chiral free fermions. We construct eight different Lie superalgebras of physical states of a chiral superstring compactified on $F_{24}$ , and we prove that they all have the structure of Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebras. This produces a family of new examples of such superalgebras. The models depend on the choice of an $mathcal{N}=1$ supercurrent on $F_{24}$, with the admissible choices labeled by the semisimple Lie algebras of dimension 24. We also discuss how $F_{24}$, with any such choice of supercurrent, can be obtained via orbifolding from another distinguished $c=12$ holomorphic SCFT, the $mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric version of the chiral CFT based on the $E_8$ lattice.
