Some arithmetic problems raised by rabbits, cows and the Da Vinci Code
In 1202, the Italian mathematician Leonardo da Pisa, alias Fibonacci, introduced a sequence of numbers that nowadays bears his name. Under the assumption that rabbits breed (producing a pair of rabbits) when  more››

Polynomials, Permutations, Prime Ideals, and factoring Polynomials modulo p
The talk began as an attempt to answer the following question - if f(x) is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, does it remain irreducible modulo p for infinitely many primes p? It turns out that the answer is sometimes yes and som  more››

On the Untraced Second Bianchi Identities in General Relativity
Einstein's equations set space-time curvature traces proportional to the space-time's mechanical content expressed as a stress- energy tensor. The divergence of a stress-energy tensor is the external force density acting on the matter described by th  more››
