Let's start with a Putnam Problem: Start with a sphere, and choose 4 points on the surface of said sphere. What is the probability that the tetrahedron formed by connecting the 4 points as vertices contains the center of the sphere?
The Bessel Differential equation is very useful in the fields of cylindrical mechanics and fluid flow. However, the Bessel Equation comes from a more general class of differential equations whose solutions are named for which mathematician? He was known for his contributions to elliptic theory along with the first proof of the famous Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
Anyone who knows anything about multivariable calculus knows about partial differentials. What is the name of the method where the two second order partial differentials are set equal to each other?
Who said the following: "We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart."
Special Relativity has many implications on our understanding of the universe today. Who is the namesake of the "factor" most commonly used in special relativity?
One of the most bizarre results that can be proven and, in fact, is used in physics, is that 1+2+3+4+5... is equal to what fraction?
Which ancient Egyptian unit of measurement was set as the distance between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger?
The famous Sacchari-Legendre theorem states that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is at most 180 degrees. Two answers are needed: First, this theorem applies with the inclusion of all of Euclid's axioms with the exception of which one? Second, when a triangle exists with the sum of its angles less than 180, what geometry is that triangle in?
I assume that all of you are familiar with the Fibonacci series that starts: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13... with each number being the sum of the two previous. What is the limit of the ratios of successive terms of this sequence?
Anyone familiar with calculus knows that the exponential function is the only function such that its derivative is itself. Name two functions such that its second derivative is itself(other than Ce^x).
