Submission + - Euler's Partion Function Theory Finished (plos.org)
universegeek writes: Mathematician Ken Ono, from Emory, has solved a 250 year old problem, how to exactly and explicitly generate partition numbers. Ono and colleagues were able to finally do this by realizing that the pattern of partition numbers is fractal. This pattern allowed them to find a finite, algebraic formula, which is like striking oil in mathematics.
