Certain analytical expressions which "feel" the divisors of natural numbers are investigated. We show that these expressions encode to some extent the well-known algorithm of the sieve of Eratosthenes. Most part of the text is written in…

In mathematics, LaTeX is the de facto standard to prepare documents, e.g., scientific publications. While some formulae are still developed using pen and paper, more complicated mathematical expressions used more and more often with…

This celebratory article contains a personal and idiosyncratic selection of a few open problems in discrete probability theory. These include certain well known questions concerning Lorentz scatterers and self-avoiding walks, and also some…

We examine prevailing philosophical and historical views about the origin of infinitesimal mathematics in light of modern infinitesimal theories, and show the works of Fermat, Leibniz, Euler, Cauchy and other giants of infinitesimal…

This paper explores the properties of multipliers associated with discrete analogues of fractional integrals, revealing intriguing connections with Dirichlet characters, Euler's identity, and Dedekind zeta functions of quadratic imaginary…

The purpose of this project is to outline various philosophies on the metaphysics of mathematics that have been prominent since the time of Cantor, highlighting some biographical aspects that have influenced these ideas as well. The main…

A rigorous, modern version of Boole's algebra of logic is presented, based partly on the 1890s treatment of Ernst Schroder.

The rapid evolution of information systems managing more and more voluminous data has caused profound paradigm shifts in the job of statistician, becoming successively data miner, bioinformatician and now data scientist. Without the sake of…

Various lattice path models are reviewed. The enumeration is done using generating functions. A few bijective considerations are woven in as well. The kernel method is often used. Computer algebra was an essential tool. Some results are…

I discuss some general aspects of the creation, interpretation, and reception of mathematics as a part of civilization and culture.

The operators of fractional calculus come in many different types, which can be categorised into general classes according to their nature and properties. We conduct a formal study of the class known as weighted fractional calculus and its…

This paper offers a glimpse of the major contributions made by Arabs to mathematics in middle ages history period. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in an object based on mutual respect and understanding. We give a short list of the most…

We discuss possible discretizations of complex analysis and some of their applications to probability and mathematical physics, following our recent work with Dmitry Chelkak, Hugo Duminil-Copin and Cl\'ement Hongler.

Some personal thoughts and opinions on what ``good quality mathematics'' is, and whether one should try to define this term rigorously. As a case study, the story of Szemer\'edi's theorem is presented.

The first seeds of mathematical intuitionism germinated in Europe over a century ago in the constructive tendencies of Borel, Baire, Lebesque, Poincar\'e, Kronecker and others. The flowering was the work of one man, Luitzen Egbertus Jan…

We provide an English translation of "\"Uber positive Darstellungen von Polynomen" by Ernst Meissner, originally published 1911 in Mathematische Annalen (70) 223-235.

This is an exposition of the contributions of L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz to mathematics and computer science written on the occasion of the bestowal of the Abel Prize~2021 to him. Our survey, of course, cannot be exhaustive. We sketch remarkable…

Writing assignments in any mathematics course always present several challenges, particularly in lower-level classes where the students are not expecting to write more than a few words at a time. Developed based on strategies from several…

This paper is devoted to show that the last quarter of the past century can be considered as the golden age of the Mathematical Finance. In this period the collaboration of great economists and the best generation of probabilists, most of…

A personal and informal account of what a pure mathematician might expect when using tools from deep learning in their research.
