  2. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

  3. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    Square number 16 as sum of gnomons. In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; [1] in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals 3 2 and can be written as 3 × 3.

  4. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    This method requires the memorization of squares from 1 to 24. The square of n (most easily calculated when n is between 26 and 74 inclusive) is (50 − n) 2 + 100(n − 25) In other words, the square of a number is the square of its difference from fifty added to one hundred times the difference of the number and twenty five. For example, to ...

    Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations versus input size for each function. The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations.

  6. Magic triangle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_triangle_(mathematics)

    In their magic triangles, the sum of the k-th row and the (n-k+1)-th row is same for all k. [5] (sequence A356808 in the OEIS) Its one modification uses triangular numbers instead of square numbers. (sequence A355119 in the OEIS) Another magic triangle form is magic triangles with triangular numbers with different summation. In this magic ...

  7. Legendre's three-square theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_three-square...

    Pierre de Fermat gave a criterion for numbers of the form 8a + 1 and 8a + 3 to be sums of a square plus twice another square, but did not provide a proof. [1] N. Beguelin noticed in 1774 [2] that every positive integer which is neither of the form 8n + 7, nor of the form 4n, is the sum of three squares, but did not provide a satisfactory proof. [3]

  8. Ramanujan–Nagell equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan–Nagell_equation

    In mathematics, in the field of number theory, the Ramanujan–Nagell equation is an equation between a square number and a number that is seven less than a power of two.It is an example of an exponential Diophantine equation, an equation to be solved in integers where one of the variables appears as an exponent.

  9. Middle-square method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-square_method

    One iteration of the middle-square method, showing a 6-digit seed, which is then squared, and the resulting value has its middle 6 digits as the output value (and also as the next seed for the sequence). Directed graph of all 100 2-digit pseudorandom numbers obtained using the middle-square method with n = 2.
