Mathematical cryptic clues












7












$begingroup$




  1. Programming language, after removing loss for you, reverses time (6)

  2. Complex arithmetic begins, Turing tests start beforehand (7)

  3. Quadruply male doctor Einstein, familiarly (11)

  4. Lie on a 100/100 imaginary item (9)

  5. Between 3.14 and 2.718 is originally risky mathematics (5)

  6. Arctan maps every other arccot into an embankment, too (8)


  7. Heated rant with part of Ulam spiral (7)

  8. Curse without Germain’s initial initial (4)




Solve these cryptic clues (no definitions), then find the answer to this question: what role does math play in our daily lives?



Remember: when in doubt, always consult OEIS!

No time to finish, but a partial...



2. Complex arithmetic begins, Turing tests start beforehand (7)




C(omplex) + A(rithmetics) + T(ests) + ALAN (Turing) = CATALAN




3. Quadruply male doctor Einstein, familiarly (11)




TETRA (quadruply) + HE + DR + AL(bert) = TETRAHEDRAL




4. Lie on a 100/100 imaginary item (9)




FIB (lie) ON A C/C (100/100) I (imaginary item) = FIBONACCI




5. Between 3.14 and 2.718 is originally risky mathematics (5)




PI (3.14) + E (2.178) with R(isky) M(athematics) inside = PRIME
