Joel David Hamkins’ 1000th MO Answer is Coming
Updates (May 2014): The second MO contributor to answer 1000 questions is another distinguished mathematician (and a friend) Igor Rivin. In summer 2015 David Speyer joined the club. (May 2018) Igor is the first MO user to have 2000 posts (Questions+Answers)! … Continue reading
Amazing: Peter Keevash Constructed General Steiner Systems and Designs
Here is one of the central and oldest problems in combinatorics: Problem: Can you find a collection S of q-subsets from an n-element set X set so that every r-subset of X is included in precisely λ sets in the collection? … Continue reading
