OEIS A000199: Coefficients of Ramanujan's FQ mock theta function
About this episode
Join us as we trace the history of Ramanujan's mock theta functions, explain what A000199 captures—the odd-power coefficients in the FQ series—and survey the modern theory of mock modular forms, including shadows and indefinite theta series, plus surprising connections to knot invariants and black-hole entropy in string theory.
