Michael Somos

Michael Somos is an American mathematician, who was a visiting scholar in the Georgetown University Mathematics and Statistics department for four years and is a visiting scholar at Catholic University of America. In the late eighties he proposed a conjecture about certain polynomial recurrences, now called Somos sequences,[1] that surprisingly in some cases contain only integers. Somos' quadratic recurrence constant is also named after him.

gollark: If you go through a doorway moving rapidly you will leave it still moving rapidly. Physics does not distinguish between this case and the doorway going toward you.
gollark: It doesn't. Relative to the portal the cube has substantial velocity.
gollark: It would come out on the other side with significant velocity relative to the top of the hole.
gollark: B. Physics doesn't distinguish between the cube moving relative to the portal and the portal moving relative to the cube.
gollark: Imagine having blood.
