When has numerology been successfully used in math and science? The Monstrous Moonshine conjecture led to a Fields medal for Borcherds. …

Given Ramanujan's famous $\frac1{\pi}$ formula $$\frac 1\pi=\frac {2\sqrt2}{99^2}\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac {(4k)!}{k!^4}\frac {26390k+1103}{396^{4k}}$$ which is a level 2 Ramanujan-Sato series. It can …

fun and joking one on 42 which overflow commented on) called "Sporadic and Exceptional" http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.06742 There are some old ideas which are summarized and some new observations and numerology … However, numerology aside. Anyone have any ideas/comments on how to find the geometric significance of the cusps and why they are relevant to Moonshine and to this current context? …

In between the simple numerology and the complicated spaces we can identify some intermediate objects: the tangent vector spaces. … Details: From numerology to spaces Numerology --->>> Linear algebra (vector spaces) --->>> Varieties/spaces. 1) The Numerology: The numerology refers to the dimension of our hypothetical analogs for …

As Gjergji immediately notified, that question was from numerology. …

In this choice of numerology, we know that through every point of $X$ there is a line that is contained in $X$. …

To non-mathematicians, it gives the impression that mathematics is about voodoo numerology, memorizing (or computing) digits of pi, and bad puns. …

Some criteria are not interesting if they involve digits base 10 - this is just a numerology (for example, delicate primes). …

Or is the finding spurious and/or numerology? …

What numerology should correspond to gl_n(F_1) ? I.e. are there some numbers related to gl_n(F_q) which have a limit when q->1 (may be renormalized like with GL_n(F_q)) ? …

$\DeclareMathOperator\PGL{PGL}\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}$I would like an explanation for some strange numerology which I encountered when studying intersections of subfield subgroups in $\PGL_2(q)$. … Under this assumption we have the following remarkable numerology: If $L\cong C_{q_0-1}$, then $|x(L)|=q_0^2+q_0 = |H: L|$. If $L\cong C_{q_0+1}$, then $|x(L)|=q_0^2-q_0 = |H:L|$. …

This question is grounded firmly in numerology. It originates in an observation about some Bernoulli polynomials and the regular icosahedron. …

Almost 17 years ago, I asked the following question on USENET, motivated by a method in numerology (I kid you not). Pick integers $n \ge 2$, $k \ge 1$. Toss $n$ $k$-sided dice. …

Dabbling in the dark art of numerology, one observes that every odd integer $2n+1\geq 5$ up to $10^7$ (where my computer got somewhat tired) can be written as $$2n+1=p+2^kq$$ with $p$ a prime, $k$ an integer …

[edit: updated the picture to have correct numerology, and corrected (1)] …
