Wikipedia:Peer review/Why 10 dimensions/archive1

Mathematics and Physics help

Description: Several Wikipedia articles mention the fact that string theory predicts that the universe has 10, 11, or 26 dimensions. However, these articles never really explain why consistency requires these particular values for the number of dimensions. I've written the first part of Why_10_dimensions and now I am stuck; if some experts could check it out and offer suggestions, that'd be great!

In particular, I need help with the Euler beta function and Ramanujan Modular Functions.
