Mathematicians, a plea for understanding. Or at least I point out a curiosity.
I was playing around in ivy (high precision calculator) with Stirling's approximation and noticed something. I compute (Stirling N)/N! for successive powers of 10:
approx 10 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000
0.99170403955606148634 0.99916701656784300017 0.99991667014156998579 0.99999166670139157019 0.99999916666701389157 0.99999991666667013889
The successive approximations improve (approach 1.0) by one decimal digit of result for each digit of argument, but that's not the curious part. The curious part happens after the 9's: the result seems to be trending towards a limit of 0.9...166666...... It adds not only a 9 for each input digit, it extends the next part by a digit 6 for every factor of 10. Now 1/6 is 0.166666 and that makes me think there's something going on here.
Is this true? Is it known? Is it proven?

A Unified Approach to Calculating Sylvester Sums
In the context of the Frobenius coin problem, given two relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$, the set of nonrepresentable numbers consists of positive integers that cannot be expressed as nonnegative integer combination of $a$ and $b$. This work provides a formula for calculating the power sums of all nonrepresentable numbers, also known as the Sylvester sums. Although alternative formulas exist in the literature, our approach is based on an elementary observation. We consider the set…

Rapid cardiac activation prediction for cardiac resynchronization therapy planning using geometric deep learning
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a common intervention for patients with dyssynchronous heart failure, yet approximately one-third of recipients fail to respond due to suboptimal lead placement. Identifying optimal pacing sites remains challenging, largely due to patient-specific anatomical variability and the limitations of current individualized planning strategies. In a step towards constructing an in-silico approach to help address this issue, we develop two geometric deep learnin…

Is demand for conspiracy theories online linked to real-world hate crimes? By analyzing online search trends for 36 racially and politically-charged conspiracy theories in Michigan (2015-2019), we employ a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) to predict hate crime occurrences offline.

General Boyd-Lawton Theorems with Multivariable Limits
The classical Boyd-Lawton theorem concerning Mahler measures has recently been extended to multivariable limits by Brunault, Guilloux, Mehrabdollahei, and Pengo. In another direction, the single-variable Boyd-Lawton theorem has been generalized to various extensions of Mahler measure by Issa and Lalín. The goal of this paper is to present a cohesive framework for extending single-variable Boyd-Lawton theorems to multivariable Boyd-Lawton theorems. With this, we broaden the single-variable Boyd…

There was a time when, if you were lucky enough to get a piece of software stable and working well, it continued to be stable and work well.
Now we have relentless updates, whose problems are exemplified by an overnight update of my Mac to OS X 15.6 doing a factory reset of the settings of many of my programs.
Let's not even go into the behavioral changes that get pushed that invalidate all your muscle memory in order to boost some product manager's performance review.
I like stability, but it's just another casualty of this endless churn.

Real Madrid getting absolutely rinsed early. Down two goals within 8 minutes, and both are defensive howlers. Courtois made an excellent save as well that could have been another.
