Abstract:

David Newman has number theory as his hobby. He and I have corresponded for more than 20 years. Recently we have written two joint papers. The first concerns special, non-standard infinite product representations of classical theta functions. The second concerns partition problems related to Fraenkel’s MEX function in partitions. MEX = MinimalEXcludant.
