Translation of "Methodus succincta summas serierum infinitarum per formulas differentiales investigandi" (1780). Euler wants to represent some given series of functions S(x)=X(x)+X(x+1)+X(x+2)+etc. in a different way. He writes S as a…

A new idea for a binary clock is presented. It displays the time using a triangular array of 15 bits. It is shown that such a geometric, triangular arrangement is only possible because our system of time divisions is based on a sexagesimal…

We present a new method to obtain infinite Sidon sequences, based on the discrete logarithm. We construct an infinite Sidon sequence A, with A(x)= x^{\sqrt 2-1+o(1)}. Ruzsa proved the existence of a Sidon sequence with similar counting…

In this paper we recall a non-standard construction of the Borel sigma-algebra B in [0,1] and construct a family of measures (in particular, Lebesgue measure) in B by a completely non-topological method. This approach, that goes back to…
