Q: Explanation of a regular pattern only occuring for prime numbers

Hans StrickerConsider multiplication group tables modulo $n$ with entries $k_{ij} = (i\cdot j)\ \%\ n$ visualized according to these principles: Colors are assigned to numbers $0 \leq k \leq n$ from $\color{black}{\textsf{black}}$ for $k=0$ over $\color{red}{\textsf{red}}$ for $k=\lfloor n/4\rfloor$ and $...

Q: A curious equality of integrals involving the prime counting function?

Tito Piezas IIIThis post discusses the integral, $$I(k)=\int_0^k\pi(x)\pi(k-x)dx$$ where $\pi(x)$ is the prime-counting function. For example, $$I(13)=\int_0^{13}\pi(x)\pi(13-x)dx = 73$$ Using WolframAlpha, the first 50 values for $k=1,2,3,\dots$ are, $$I(k) = 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 8, 14, 22, 32, 45, 58, 73, 90...

Q: any clues on how to solve these types of problems within 2-3 minutes for competitive exams

HOME WORK AND EXERCISES$$\int_0^{102}\left(\prod_{k=1}^{100}(x-k)\right)\left(\sum_{k=1}^{100}\frac1{x-k}\right)\,dx$$ I've tried solving this problem but only thing that comes to my mind is the manual integration by multiplication of the expressions which will literally take much longer than the allotted time for com...

Q: Something times negative infinity

user644361Does $$\lim_{x \to - \infty} (\frac{\pi}{2} + \arctan{x} ) \cdot x = - \infty$$? My logic is that “something“ times "negative infinity" equals negative infinity. Am I right?

Q: Does every functor from Set to Set preserve products?

Keshav SrinivasanIn general, not all functors preserve products. But my question is, is it at least true that all functors from Set to Set preserve products? If not, does anyone know of a counterexample?

Q: Mathematics and the art of linearizing the circle

Hans StrickerOne of the most prominent problems of ancient mathematics was the squaring of the circle: to construct the square with the same area as a given circle. A related problem is linearizing the circle: to find a natural transition between a given line segment of length $L$ and the circle with circumf...
