It seems a marvel when a bunch of irrational numbers "conspire" to become rational, even better an integer. An elementary example is $\prod_{j=1}^n4\cos^2\left(\pi j/(2n+1)\right)=1$. Kasteleyn's ...

I find the following averaged-integral amusing and intriguing, to say the least. Is there any proof? For any pair of integers $n\geq k\geq0$, we have $$\frac1{\pi}\int_0^{\pi}\frac{\sin^n(x)}{\...

I proposed this question at MO which was resolved neatly by Gerald Edgar in the form $$ u_n(x) = {2}^{n-1}\prod _{k=0}^{n-1}(2x+2k+1) -{2\,n-1\choose n-1}\prod _{k=0}^{n-1}(x+k).$$ Now that we ...

This quest arose from certain calculations with integer partitions (having distinct parts) and the corresponding values of their Dyson ranks. I would like to ask: QUESTION. Is this congruence true ...
