For all math lovers

Mathematics, as we all know, is bestowed with tremendous beauty. Unfortunately, unlike other forms of art, mathematical beauty is not easily manifested to general audience. One has to work upon it for some time in order to have a natural appreciation for its sublime magnificence. Many mathematical expressions often exercise their fascination to us. One such expression that I've tried digging deeper is: $\Large\left(x+\frac 1 x\right)$ I didn't find a name assigned to this form in mathematical literature; so i called them the "madness sum" in my first problem, and stuck with it later. I've tried hard to go far from the books' level into the realms of its opportunities and hopefully came up with some of the good results.

In the note that I'm going to share below you'd find some problems regarding the madness sum. I would further add some more problems as new insights come. Thanks.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Your set of problems are truly brilliant And Sir can you please discuss with what results have you came up ? I am also very fond of this expression:)

Thank you for your appreciation Akash. I'm glad that you liked them.

About the results. Well I don't like stating them directly, it will be boring. All that i found, got used up in those questions. Go and form your own opinions.
