With the MatrixRank function and a finite modulus I can detect relations from matrices too large to directly Echelon. So far, I can't even smell a p{a,b,23}. Because it's 24-1? Or the nearly infinite 69/3? rwg>(Maybe someone can tell us why these relations always seem to exist.) And if. Joerg Arndt>You need formula 31.1-10a on p.628 of

If Ramanujan had done that, he and Rademacher wouldn't have found their miraculous partitions formula. --rwg While seeking postprandial excercise last nite, I was led, Newtonlike, to the discovery of a new cause for tort litigation: Turning out the parking lot lights while your boomerang is in the air.
