Representation Of Integers By Sum Of Three Cubes, A New Approach Based On Seed Equation

We have proved in this paper that numbers can be expressed in algebraic form using one variable and two real rational quantities and thus sum of three cubes can also be expressed in algebraic form as a cubic polynomial. Using skeletal or seed equation, the polynomial can be transformed into a quadratic equation. A seed equation denotes a simple equation that represents a given integer as sum of three cubes including 0, for example, a seed equation for integer 2 is 1 cubed plus 1 cubed plus 0 cubed. Resultant quadratic equation can further be transformed into a linear equation which yields value of the variable and substitution of the value of the variable into the algebraic form of numbers results in the required solution. Notwithstanding, finding a single set of three cubes, we have found, using this approach, multiple sets of cubes. We have also given parametrisation for such cubes. Cases, where it is difficult or not possible to determine a seed equation, alternate method has been provided. Methods used are unattempted, innovative and easily comprehensible.

Approximation Of Logarithm, Factorial And Euler Mascheroni Constant Using Odd Harmonic Series

We have proved in this paper that natural logarithm of consecutive number ratio, x/(x-1) approximates to 2/(2x - 1) where x is a real number except 1. Using this relation, we, then proved, x approximates to double the sum of odd harmonic series having first and last terms 1/3 and 1/(2x - 1) respectively. Thereafter, not limiting to consecutive number ratios, we extended its applicability to all the real numbers. Based on these relations, we, then derived a formula for approximating the value of Factorial x. We could also approximate the value of Euler-Mascheroni constant. In these derivations, we used only and only elementary functions, thus this paper is easily comprehensible to students and scholars.
