puzzles and problems meant to engage the attention of research mathematicians move them along to the harder stuff—complex analysis, algebraic geometry, interuniversal Teichmüller theory. As a recruiting tool this strategy has been highly successful. Many a mathematician credits Martin Gardner and his “Mathematical Games” column for inspiring a lifetime of mathematical inquiry. The Mathematics o...

the purpose of this paper is to study the higher order asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues associated with a class of sturm-liouville problem with equation of the form w??=(?2f(x)?r(x)) (1), on [a,b, where ? is a real parameter and f(x) is a real valued function in c2(a,b which has a single zero (so called turning point) at point 0x=x and r(x) is a continuously differentiable function. ...
