Sequential addition of points on a circle, optimizing asymptotic packing radius
Suppose I have to put $N$ points $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N$ on the circle $S^1$ of length 1 so as to achieve the largest minimum separation (packing radius). The optimal solution is the equally spaced ...

approximate two different real numbers to order $\frac{1}{z^{3/2}}$
I took this result from Minkowski's book on Geometry of numbers:
Two arbitrary real quantitites $a$ and $b$ may be made to approach as near as we wish in value the two fractions $\frac{x}{z}$ and $\...
