In mathematics, analytic number theory is a part of number theory that uses ideas from mathematical analysis to solve questions about whole numbers. It is believed to have started in 1837 when Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet used Dirichlet L-functions to give the first proof of Dirichlet's theorem about arithmetic progressions. This branch of math is well-known for its work on prime numbers (like the Prime Number Theorem and the Riemann zeta function) and on additive number theory (such as the Goldbach conjecture and Waring's problem). Branches of analytic number theory. Analytic number theory has two main parts, based on the type of questions they try to answer.

In computer science, parameters are stored names of information that we want to use for a subroutine. These pieces of information, called values, are then passed on to the subroutine to be used as arguments. Then these arguments can affect how the program will run. Parameter (programming) For example, in the following Python function: codice_1 codice_2 The word codice_3 is a parameter. When the function is called with a value (like codice_4), the parameter codice_3 will hold that value and the function will use it to perform its action: codice_6 In this case, the parameter allows the function to personalize the greeting by using the value provided during the function call.

Glenrothes is a town in the middle of Fife, a part of east-central Scotland. In 2011, 39,277 people lived there, making it the third biggest town in Fife and the 18th biggest in Scotland. It is the main town for running Fife's local government, with offices for Fife Council and Police Scotland. It is also an important place for local services. The town was planned in the 1940s after World War II to help grow the economy in Fife. It was built to provide houses, jobs, roads, and services for a large coal mine called Rothes Colliery. The mine closed early, so the town found new ways to grow. It became important for industry and helped make Scotland's Silicon Glen, a center for technology, between 1961 and 2000. The name Glenrothes comes from the Earl of Rothes, who owned the land. "Glen" means valley, added to avoid confusion with another place called Rothes and because the town is in a valley. Glenrothes' motto is "Ex terra vis", meaning "From the Earth Comes Life." Glenrothes has won many awards for its parks and gardens. It also has many outdoor artworks created by town artists when the town was built. The town is a top place for making electronics and other high-tech products. Big companies like Bosch Rexroth, Leviton, Raytheon, and Fife College are based there. The Kingdom Shopping Centre, the largest in Fife, is at the town's heart, with most shopping inside one place. Other public places include a sports centre, two golf courses, big parks, a civic centre, a theatre, and a college campus. The A92 road connects Glenrothes to Scotland's big road network. The town has a large bus station for local and regional buses. There are also train stations near the town at Markinch and Thornton, linking it to the Edinburgh-Dundee and Fife Circle rail lines.
Organosulfur chemistry is the study of how organosulfur compounds are made and what they do. These compounds are made of sulfur and carbon. Many organosulfur compounds smell bad, but some of the sweetest things, like saccharin, are made from them. Sulfur is very important for living things. Out of the 20 common building blocks of proteins, two (cysteine and methionine) have sulfur. Medicines like penicillin and sulfa drugs also have sulfur. These medicines save many lives, but sulfur mustard is a dangerous chemical used in war. Fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which come from ancient plants and animals, contain organosulfur compounds. Removing these sulfur compounds is a big job for oil refineries. Sulfur belongs to the same group as oxygen, selenium, and tellurium, so organosulfur compounds are similar to those that have carbon with oxygen, selenium, or tellurium. Types of organosulfur compounds. Sulfides. Sulfides, once called thioethers, have C−S−C bonds. The sulfur atom is bigger than carbon, so C−S bonds are longer than C−C bonds. C−S bonds are also a bit weaker. Examples include methanethiol and thiophene. Sulfides can be made by adding alkyl groups to thiols. Chemicals like alkyl halides, epoxides, and aziridines help with this. Special Processes to Make Sulfides Thioacetals and Thioketals. These compounds have C−S−C−S−C links and are a type of sulfide. Thioacetals help change how carbonyl groups react. They also protect carbonyl groups during chemical reactions. Ring Structures with Sulfur. Sulfides and other sulfur compounds can form ring shapes. Some rings are: Thiophenes are special because they are aromatic, meaning they have stable rings. The ring in thiophene is more stable than in similar oxygen compounds like furan.Dibenzothiophenes are large, triple-ring sulfur compounds found in petroleum.
