issn = 0071-2248"Eureka" is a publication of
The Archimedeans , the Cambridge University Mathematical Society. Its focus is on articles of interest to the society, including problems and puzzles, discussions and humour.The first issue was published in 1939; subsequent publishing frequency has averaged between annual and biannual.Selected articles were published by the university faculty and affiliates, such as
Béla Bollobás , John Conway,Paul Dirac ,Paul Erdős ,Douglas Hofstadter and Ian Stewart.Of the notable mathematical articles, there is an influential paper by
Freeman Dyson where he defined the rank of a partition in an effort to prove combinatorially the partition congruences earlier discovered bySrinivasa Ramanujan . In the article, Dyson made a series of conjectures that were all eventually resolved. [Freeman J. Dyson, Some Guesses in The Theory of Partitions, "Eureka (Cambridge)", vol. 8 (1944), 10-15.] [ [http://www-math.mit.edu/~pak/papers/dyson.htm Dyson's rank, crank and adjoint] ]ee also
