The above link is: "two number theorists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have pieced together an explanatory framework that for the first time illustrates what mock theta functions are, and exactly how to derive them". Probably worth including in the article.

--It would be really cool if someone could explain this in a fashion understandable to those of us a little less educated ;) For instance, what tangible areas of physics, engineering, etc. that I might be familiar with be affected? It sounds fascinating, human race is on a roll or something what with a number of 'millenial' math problems being solved in the last 15 years (Wiles, etc.) 74.98.247.64 16:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
