Library Journal published the Top 20 best-selling mathematics books for libraries this week and Princeton has the honor of claiming 6 of those spots including the top 3.The #1 seller according to Library Journal is The Princeton Companion to Mathematics edited by Timothy Gowers, number two is Euler’s Gem: The Polyhedron Formula and the Birth of Topology by David S. Richeson, and number three is The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth: The Early History of Trigonometry by Glen Van Brummelen. Also making the list–Plato’s Ghost: The Modernist Transformation of Mathematics by Jeremy Gray at number 6, Mathematics in Ancient Iraq: A Social History by Eleanor Robson at number 11; and Rational Decisions by Ken Binmore at number 15. Here is the complete list. |

Dear mathematics Librarian from Princeton I am romanian mathematician Vasiliu Lucilius and I wrote a book ,,Eight Major Theoretical Breakthroughs in the superior Mathematics,, it was review by the greatest mathematicians of the world,including famous professors from Princeton.It contains the solution of the Riemann Hypothesis,the elementary solution of the Last Fermat Theorem,the solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations,the proof that the Euler-Mascheroni constant is irational and many many other amaizing things.Sincerely Vasiliu Lucilius.

The Internet is excellent:
Even the biggest nonsense can be published.
The script of Vasiliu Lucilius also belongs to it.
About “solutions” of the especially known problems
I don’t want to say anything (only, that I shake my
head). The tip must be enough that in the chapter 7
is simply maintained (from MAJOR EIGHT THEORETICAL
BREAKTHROUGHS in THE SUPERIOR MATHEMATICS) that
alpha_1 (or x_n for n against endlessly)
can represent all irrational values.
Because the parameter are countable, can alpha
represent only countable down many values.
However, the amount of the irrational values is
uncountable (and of the real values anyhow).
This is a basic knowledge of theory of sets,
and who (calling himself a mathematician)
doesn’t know this simple thing, loses all credibility,
to be able to solve mathematical (not trivial)
problems.
