Over a hundred years ago, a young Indian wrote a letter to the leading mathematician of his time, G. H. Hardy of Cambridge University. Hardy realised that the mathematics in Srinivasa Ramanujan’s letter was brilliant, that the self-taught mathematician from rural India had discovered some of the fundamental theories of mathematics, with no formal training.
Hardy invited Ramanujan to England, and the two men worked together for five years. In those five years Ramanujan set the world of mathematics ablaze with his new and exciting ideas.
However, the English weather took it’s toll on the young Indian, and as his health failed he returned to India. As he lay dying, he wrote to Hardy telling him of mysterious functions he had seen in a dream. The devout Hindu, believed that the goddess Namagiri had shown them to him.
Now a team of mathematicians from Emory University have proved that these functions are true, “We’ve solved the problems from his last mysterious letters. For people who work in this area of math, the problem has been open for 90 years,” Emory University mathematician Ken Ono said.
The (San Francisco) Bay Area Center For Voting Research itemized highly conservative and highly liberal cities nationwide. This was done by how they voted, either republican or liberal in the 2004 presidential election.
Also, votes for the Libertarian and Constitution Parties were considered conservative. Votes for the Green, Peace and Freedom Parties were counted as liberal.
The top 15 cities of each are listed below… with their violent crime rates. Note, the national average is 4 violent crimes per 1000 residents.
Top Liberal:
Detroit, Michigan – 24 violent crimes per 1,000 residents
Gary, Indiana – 15 violent crimes per 1,000 residents
