It’s not just about funding your account, it’s every single trade. When you sell a stock and then immediately buy another one, the cash from your sell doesn’t actually land for a few days.

That said, I do wish I were at AIM's meeting on the Riemann Hypothesis :-) https://aimath.org/rh2018/ The lecture videos are online and are a good way to get both historical context and connection to how people ar

There's been a lot of research that has assumed it to be true and built on top of it to find deeper implications. Still, a number of people who've worked most closely with the Riemann zeta function, even the ones who led the compu

I love this quote: > A meeting on how to extend the GPY method was immediately organized at the American Institute of Mathematics in San Jose, California. As a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed grad student, I felt extraordinarily lucky to be

I've heard very good things about Visual Complex Analysis, as well.

> But why is it important that these zeros are on the vertical line Im z = 0.5 Great question. The formula works whether or not the zeros have real part 0.5, but its implications are different. If you're counting primes up to x you

Adding an extra point, one thing that makes this difficult is that a lot of this kind of research is not about applying existing ideas but coming up with something that has never been done before, and neutral networks are a lot worse with c

Did you win when you did that? The strategy varies quite a lot between instances of the game, but often I find that those kinds of “engines” happen too late in the game to really be valuable, and by then someone might have bought gold and

There is also Problems in Analytic Number Theory, which teaches the field as a series of problems and exercises. It's a great way to learn, and one that I haven't seen implemented well in other areas (even the corresponding book

But this isn't just summing up a few positive integers, in which case there's no ambiguity in what the answer is. Once you start summing up infinitely many things you have to bring in some theory and some techniques to justify wh

I just skimmed through it so maybe I'm missing something, but it also appears to be incomplete. It even says "the completion of the rigorous derivation of the above results will be presented in a companion paper". He brings
