Rota's excluded minors conjecture is one of a number of conjectures made by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota. It is considered to be an important problem by some members of the structural combinatorics community. Rota conjectured in 1971 that, for every finite field, the family of matroids that can be represented over that field has only finitely many excluded minors.A proof of the conjecture has been announced by Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle. (Wikipedia).
What is the Riemann Hypothesis?
This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Mertens Conjecture Disproof and the Riemann Hypothesis | MegaFavNumbers
#MegaFavNumbers The Mertens conjecture is a conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of the prime numbers. It can be seen as a stronger version of the Riemann hypothesis. It says that the Mertens function is bounded by sqrt(n). The Riemann hypothesis on the other hand only require

A (compelling?) reason for the Riemann Hypothesis to be true #SOME2
A visual walkthrough of the Riemann Zeta function and a claim of a good reason for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis. This is not a formal proof but I believe the line of argument could lead to a formal proof.

Ramsey theory is based on Ramsey's theorem, because without it, there would be no Ramsey numbers, since they are not well-defined. This is part 2 of the trilogy of the Ramsey numbers. Useful link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey%27s_theorem#2-colour_case Other than commenting on the

Ptolemy's Theorem seems more esoteric than the Pythagorean Theorem, but it's just as cool. In fact, the Pythagorean Theorem follows directly from it. Ptolemy used this theorem in his astronomical work. Google for the historical details. Thanks to this video for the idea of this visual

How a Mass Flow Controller works
I bought a couple mass flow controllers from eBay to improve the process control of my sputtering chamber. These MFCs are much better suited than a needle valve and rotameter (manual flowmeter).
