Welcome to my humble home page. I am Michael Somos and I am interested in information, especially about mathematics, and computing. I was a prolific contributor to the OEIS. I am a member of StackExchange. I am currently a Visiting Scholar at the Catholic University of America. A partial index of my webspace is available.
I came up with the family of Somos sequences. This evolved into my polynomial sequence versions of classical elliptic functions in my WXYZ Math Project. In September 2000 I gave a talk at MIT titled Number Walls in Combinatorics. My recent mathematical work is in the Elliptic Realm such as my essay A Multisection of q-series and takes much inspiration from Srinivasa Ramanujan. My former Dedekind Eta Function Product Identities website had over 6300 identities. That website last version is saved at the Wayback Machine. My Special Algebraic Identities collection has over 800 identities. I have a large collection of hundreds oF PARI/GP functions I use in my math research. I have a large collection of hundreds of Lambert Series inspired by some of Ramanujan's remarkable Lambert series. Also, I have done some work on Monstrous moonshine and Mock modular forms. If you are interested, e-mail me for details.
I came up with Somos Polynomials and have done some work with rational triangles.
Finally, I am not related to a Michael Somos in Greece, somos.com , somos.org , DSM Somos , Somos series , or SOMOS Service Order Messaging Open Specification.
