This is from work I did last year with class mates. It proved to be really interesting, and possibly the most interesting mathematical topic I ever encountered

ABSTRACT
Author: Professor John Dwyer

In computing, several rapidly-increasing functions are used in areas such as computability, algorithm analysis and tractability. These include Ackerman’s function, Dwyer’s function and Euler’s Gamma function. This paper investigates these functions and compares them asymptotically.

Abstract
In graph theory, a long standing problem has involved finding
a closed form expression for the number of Euler circuits in
K_n. The solution presented here comprises a function D(x,y)
that has several interesting applications in computing.

This project was born from the love of computing and communications, and the thrills of being able to overcome security measures in communication systems. The purpose of this project is to prove that it is possible for individuals to break though the barriers of GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) protection systems using common and publicly available tools. It has to be said in advance that devices able to intercept GSM conversations do exist; nonetheless these devices are only available to law enforcement agencies and special services.
