Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Check the post above you.
But now I am getting
That one works!!!!! Shortest one yet!
But if you use knowledge of landau notation you can see how we could derived it from my answer!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Ah, I know what my mistake was! I calculated Gamma(3) to be 6!!!
Yes, it looks like it should be n^2/60.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Do you see how we could have gotten it from mine? The n^2/60 term is dominant for large n.
A really cool answer don't you think!
I will see you later, chores to do and thanks for working on the problem. You did great work with the formula.

Yes, the answer is awesome.
See you later, then...
