  2. Congruent number problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruent_number

    if p ≡ 3 (mod 8), then p is not a congruent number, but 2 p is a congruent number. if p ≡ 5 (mod 8), then p is a congruent number. if p ≡ 7 (mod 8), then p and 2 p are congruent numbers. It is also known that in each of the congruence classes 5, 6, 7 (mod 8), for any given k there are infinitely many square-free congruent numbers with k ...

  3. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    The former are ≡ ±1 (mod 12) and the latter are all ≡ ±5 (mod 12). −3 is in rows 7, 13, 19, 31, 37, and 43 but not in rows 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 41, or 47. The former are ≡ 1 (mod 3) and the latter ≡ 2 (mod 3). Since the only residue (mod 3) is 1, we see that −3 is a quadratic residue modulo every prime which is a residue modulo 3.

  4. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    For example, the expression "5 mod 2" evaluates to 1, because 5 divided by 2 has a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0, because 9 divided by 3 has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many computing systems now allow other types of numeric operands.

  5. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones ...

  6. Montgomery modular multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_modular...

    Montgomery modular multiplication relies on a special representation of numbers called Montgomery form. The algorithm uses the Montgomery forms of a and b to efficiently compute the Montgomery form of ab mod N. The efficiency comes from avoiding expensive division operations. Classical modular multiplication reduces the double-width product ab ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course_Hero

    Course Hero was founded by Andrew Grauer at Cornell University in 2006 for college students to share lectures, class notes, exams and assignments. [4] In November 2014, the company raised $15 million in Series A Funding, with investors that included GSV Capital and IDG Capital. Seed investors SV Angel and Maveron also participated. [5]

  8. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    Cube (algebra) y = x3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 23 = 8 or (x + 1)3. The cube is also the number ...

  9. Covering system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_system

    A covering system is called irredundant (or minimal) if all the residue classes are required to cover the integers. The first two examples are disjoint. The third example is distinct. A system (i.e., an unordered multi-set) of finitely many residue classes is called an -cover if it covers every integer at least times, and an exact -cover if it ...
