What's a modular form?
- A.
It is a function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation
- B.
It is an analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation
- C.
It is a function on the lower half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation
- D.
It is a function on the upper plane satisfying all kinds of functional equation
Correct Answer
B. It is an analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equationExplanation
A modular form is defined as an analytic function on the upper half plane that satisfies a specific type of functional equation. This means that the function must meet certain conditions and properties in order to be classified as a modular form. The answer choice "It is an analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation" accurately describes the definition of a modular form.Rate this question:

In which branch of mathematics can they be found?
- A.
Algebra
- B.
Geometry
- C.
Probabilities
- D.
Recreational mathematics
Correct Answer
D. Recreational mathematicsExplanation
Recreational mathematics is a branch of mathematics that focuses on puzzles, games, and mathematical recreations that are not directly related to practical applications. It includes activities like solving puzzles, playing games, and exploring mathematical patterns for the sake of enjoyment and intellectual curiosity. While algebra, geometry, and probabilities are more formal branches of mathematics with practical applications, recreational mathematics is more about exploring the fun and playful side of math.Rate this question:

What is an integer?
- A.
It is numbers ranked between 10 and 9
- B.
It is numbers ranked between 1 and 9
- C.
It is a number that can be written without a fractional component
- D.
It is a number inferior to 100
Correct Answer
C. It is a number that can be written without a fractional componentExplanation
An integer is a whole number that can be written without any decimal or fractional component. It includes both positive and negative numbers, as well as zero. Integers are not limited to a specific range, such as being ranked between 10 and 9 or being inferior to 100. Therefore, the correct answer is that an integer is a number that can be written without a fractional component.Rate this question:

What are the well-known examples of almost integers?
- A.
Logarithms
- B.
High powers of golden ratio.
- C.
Fractions
- D.
Cardinals
Correct Answer
B. High powers of golden ratio.Explanation
High powers of the golden ratio are well-known examples of almost integers because as the power of the golden ratio increases, the resulting number gets closer and closer to an integer. The golden ratio, denoted by the symbol φ (phi), is approximately equal to 1.618. When this value is raised to a high power, the decimal part becomes very small, making it almost an integer. This property of the golden ratio is often seen in various mathematical and natural phenomena, such as in the spirals of certain plants and the proportions of ancient Greek architecture.Rate this question:

What ratios are known to make almost integers?
- A.
The ratios of Fibonacci
- B.
The ratios of Mancini
- C.
The ratios of Newton
- D.
The ratios of Einstein
Correct Answer
A. The ratios of FibonacciExplanation
The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The ratios between consecutive Fibonacci numbers tend to approach the golden ratio, which is approximately 1.618. This ratio is known to create aesthetically pleasing and harmonious proportions, often found in art, architecture, and nature. Due to the close approximation to whole numbers, the ratios of Fibonacci numbers are considered to make almost integers.Rate this question:

From where did the ratios of Fibonacci originated from?
- A.
Italy
- B.
Indian mathematics
- C.
Chinese Algebra
- D.
Germany
Correct Answer
B. Indian mathematicsExplanation
The ratios of Fibonacci originated from Indian mathematics. Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician, was introduced to the Fibonacci sequence and its ratios while studying mathematical concepts in India during the 13th century. He then brought this knowledge back to Europe and popularized it through his book "Liber Abaci". The Fibonacci sequence and its ratios have since become well-known and widely studied in mathematics.Rate this question:

What's an Eisenstein series?
- A.
They are numerical forms with infinite series
- B.
They are modular forms with infinite series
- C.
They are particular modular forms with infinite series
- D.
They are particular modular forms with limited series
Correct Answer
C. They are particular modular forms with infinite seriesExplanation
Eisenstein series are a type of modular forms with infinite series. Unlike other modular forms, which have certain restrictions or conditions, Eisenstein series are specific modular forms that have an infinite series representation. These series play an important role in various areas of mathematics, including number theory and complex analysis.Rate this question:

What is a mathematical coincidence?
- A.
It is one that occurs when 6 expressions show a near-equation which has no theoretical explanation
- B.
It is one that occurs when 3 expressions show an equation which has no theoretical explanation
- C.
It is one that occurs when 2 expressions show a near-equation which has no theoretical explanation
- D.
It is one that occurs when 4 expressions show a near-equation which has no theoretical explanation
Correct Answer
C. It is one that occurs when 2 expressions show a near-equation which has no theoretical explanationExplanation
A mathematical coincidence refers to a situation where two expressions exhibit a near-equation without any underlying theoretical explanation. In other words, it is a coincidence that these two expressions appear to be almost equal without any logical reason or mathematical relationship between them.Rate this question:
