Crank of a partition

In number theory, the crank of a partition of an integer is a certain integer associated with the partition. The term was first introduced without a definition by Freeman Dyson in a 1944 paper published in Eureka, a journal published by the Mathematics Society of Cambridge University. Dyson then gave a list of properties this yet to be defined quantity should have. George E. Andrews and F.G. Garvan in 1988 discovered a definition for crank satisfying the properties hypothesized for it by Dyson.

Dyson's crank

Let n be a non-negative integer and let p(n) denote the number of partitions of n (p(0) is defined to be 1). Srinivasa Ramanujan in a paper published in 1918 stated and proved the following congruences for the partition function p(n), since known as Ramanujan congruences.

These congruences imply that partitions of numbers of the form 5n + 4 (respectively, of the forms 7n + 5 and 11n + 6 ) can be divided into 5 (respectively, 7 and 11) subclasses of equal size. The then known proofs of these congruences were based on the ideas of generating functions and they did not specify a method for the division of the partitions into subclasses of equal size.

History

Patent Ochsner was formed in Bern in 1990 by singer Büne Huber and four other musicians. The lineup would change several times during the years. The band got their name from a ubiquitous type of Swiss dustbin and trash containers, manufactured by J. Ochsner AG and stamped with "Patent Ochsner".

In 1991, they released their debut "Schlachtplatte" (butcher plate; a traditional dish containing different types of meat and sausages). As the song "Bälpmoos" (about Belpmoos, Bern's regional airport) got huge radio airplay on Swiss radio stations they became quite famous in Switzerland. The ballad "Scharlachrot" (Scarlet) would increase their popularity.

Fischer (automobile)

The Fischer was a brass era automobile manufactured in Detroit, Michigan by the G.J. Fischer Company in 1914. It was a light car (rather than a cyclecar), built as a two- or four-seater model, including a sedan. It had a Perkins four-cylinder water-cooled 1.2L engine. It had a selective transmission and shaft drive. The two-seater cost $525, and the sedan cost $845. The Fischer brothers, all 7 of them lived in Flint, Michigan.
