100

This space in Lake Hall for math students and faculty to work, play chess, and have tea has the following room number.

What is 553 (Lake 553)?

100

While this mathematician's first theorem is not well-known, his last certainly is.

Who is Pierre de Fermat?

100

This constant, named after Aleksandr Gelfond, can be considered a consequence of the Gelfond–Schneider theorem, a statement which proves the transcendence of a large class of numbers.  It is equivalent to (-1)^(-i)

What is e^pi

100

67 * 82 - 4 + 24 / 2

What is 5502?

200

((1 - 2x) / (3 + 2x - x^2)) dx

What is ((3 * ln(|x + 1|) + 5 * ln(|x − 3|)) / 4) + C?

200

Northeastern has this many campuses.

What is 9? (Boston, Charlotte, London, San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Toronto, Vancouver, Portland)

200

No, he's not Hamilton, but this young mathematician had a similar life experience.

Who is Évariste Galois?

200

This constant appears in a formula originally conjectured by Adrien-Marie Legendre, a 19th century French mathematician, that is used to describe the asymptotic behavior of the prime-counting function.

What is 1?

200

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 121 + 122 + 123

What is 7626?

300

(x * (tan(x))^2) dx

What is x * tan(x) + ln(|cos(x)|) - (x^2 / 2) + C?

300

Northeastern's Boston campus has this many buildings with the word "Hall" in their name.

What is 20?

300

Sharing a name with a NEU building, this mathematician was the first female fellow of the Royal Statistical Society.

Who is Florence Nightingale?

300

In some European countries, the falsification-hindering typeface is often used to prevent readers from mistaken this constant with another frequently occurring symbol.

What is 0?

300

(137 * 428) + (862 * 428)

What is 427572?

400

(1 / (sqrt(e^(2x) + 1))) dx

What is ((ln(sqrt(e^(2x)) - 1) - ln(sqrt(e^(2x)) + 1)) / 2) + C?

400

*Add/subtract the course numbers!

What is Real Analysis (MATH 3150)?

400

This mathematician's "wild thought" laid the foundations to what we know now as complex analysis.

Who is Rafael Bombelli?
