You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: One of its members published visual poems under the pseudonym I.K. Bonset and created the journal Mecano. Art Concret was founded toward the end of the prominence of this group, which in its early years included Vilmos Huszar and J.J.P. Oud. Word painting was the subject of its second manifesto, while the first discussed its goal of finding a new imagery. Works by its members include Ouds Caf de Unie and the Schrder house, which leans more toward its later Elementarism than its original Neo-Plasticism. FTP name this art movement and journal founded by Theo van Doesburg and exemplified by Piet Mondrian.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: sum of the squares of the reciprocals of this function evaluated at the nonnegative integers is equal to the modified Bessel function of the first kind at x=2. The Leviathan Number is found by evaluating this function at 10 to the 666th power. The rising type can be represented with the Pochhammer Symbol. Wilson's Theorem states that this function of any prime minus 1 is also congruent to -1 modulo that prime. Legendre's theorem provides a corollary to determine the number of (*) trailing zeroes of this function evaluated at nonnegative integers. When this function is evaluated at large numbers, Stirling's approximation is used. The gamma function extends this function to all complex numbers other than negative integers. For 10 points, name this function that, for positive integers n, is the product from 1 to n, and which is represented by an exclamation point.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: He wrote a play about the Roman Emperor Caligula and his essay collections include Nuptials and Two Sides of the Coin. He adapted Dostoevskys The Possessed, and Faulkners Requiem for a Nun for the theater, and his short stories The Growing Stone and The Guest are collected in Exile and the Kingdom. In another work, Jean Baptists Clemance lets a woman drown, while other works by this man feature Dr. Rieux and Mersault, who kills an Arab. For 10 points, identify this author of The Fall, The Plague and The Stranger.
