    Graduate Is this number algebraic or transcendental?

    Be aware that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue%E2%80%93Morse_sequence" is not \frac{(1+\beta)}{100} as it goes on .01101001100101101001011001101001... so even if you found a proof for it, that wouldn't apply to your number anyway.

    Undergrad Sets & Notations: What Do S* and S* Mean?

    Unfortunately not. As I said, this was a test sheet and I don't have access to the relevant textbook. Anyway I'd say it's obvious now that this is not standard notation, I'll check it on the book itself when it becomes available. Edit: For all the curious here, I managed to obtain the...

    Graduate Conjecture: Solving 32n^2 + 3n = 0 mod P for odd P

    I am not sure if I got the question right but with P=9, 32n^2+3n=0 (mod 9) for n=3 and n=6.

    Undergrad Sets & Notations: What Do S* and S* Mean?

    Thank you for your quick answer. I doubt it to be anything more complicated than very basic set theory. Unfortunately, I don't know the context myself, all I have is a simple test asking to answer true or false to several questions: if l belogs to A* then l+1 does not belong to A*; if l...

    Undergrad Sets & Notations: What Do S* and S* Mean?

    I have seen different notations on different books but I couldn't find anywhere what S* and S* mean, being S a set. Anyone can help?
