Euler–Mascheroni constant! :euler:

In fact, the last one is:
\[\large\displaystyle\int_1^{+\infty}\mathrm dx\ \left(\frac{1}{\lfloor x\rfloor}-\frac1x\right)=\gamma\approx0.5772156649\]

Equivalently,
\[\large\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_{k=1}^n \frac1{k}-\ln n\right)=\gamma=0.5772156649\ldots\]

Unsolved problem in mathematics:
Is Euler–Mascheroni constant irrational? If so, is it transcendental?

A review of V1 of the paper "On the Infinitude of Twin Primes" by Dr. Ryan Matthew Thurman ( @rythur ).

My background for this review: a layman person without any #degree, with very weak #Math interest (I knew what were prime numbers but never heard of the twin prime conjecture) and lack of math background except for what is taught in high school and the occasional math that pop here and there from my adjacent interests in the process of thinking of process both formal and informally (mainly from #lisp lore for the #ComputerScience side and #Hegel lore for the #Philosophy side of the story)

And now, only after almost 1 month since I have read it, will I review this paper (flushed face 😳).

A paper of 10 pages of content.
The paper is very pleasant and simple to read. Managing to catch our attention and make us read it in one sitting with a child-like excitement and joy. So if you have tendencies to leave things half-done, do not fear, you will get drawn into finishing it without having to fight a moment of boringness.

1/3
