Researchers have finally solved the cryptic deathbed puzzle renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan claimed came to him in dreams.
While on his death-bed in 1920, Ramanujan wrote a letter to his mentor, English mathematician G. H. Hardy, outlining several new mathematical functions never before heard of, along with a hunch about how they worked.
Decades years later, researchers say they’ve proved he was right – and that the formula could explain the behaviour of black holes.

Herman Cain’s Pseudomathematics : EvolutionBlog
I love it when people get caught out trying to snow others with fake math references. Now it’s the turn of Herman Cain.
Finding out that [Herman] Cain was a math major gives me the same flush of embarrassment I get when I hear that a Jew did something bad. As for bamboozling people with mathematics, thats just an old creationist trick.
