Just saw a play, "Partition", performed in Berkeley by the Aurora Theatre Company, which is all about the interaction between Hardy & Ramanujan. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know if it will be performed in other cities, but its run in the Bay Area has just ended. It's nice, the number of math-related plays recently. Alas, I haven't seen either Arcadia or Proof. Has anyone out there seen either of these, and if so, how did you like it? ALSO: Was moved to check out the extensive MathWorld entry on partitions, at <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PartitionFunctionP.html>, and was reminded of the mystical asymptotic formula P(n) ~ exp(pi sqrt(2n/3)) / (4 sqrt(3) n) discovered by Hardy & Ramanujan. Is anyone familiar enough with a proof of this -- or a heuristic argument -- to post a sketch of it to math-fun? --Dan
