[20] [21] The acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction, [22] is common in the United States [23] and France. [24] Sometimes the letters are expanded into words of a mnemonic sentence such as "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". [ 25 ]
The "nine dots" puzzle. The puzzle asks to link all nine dots using four straight lines or fewer, without lifting the pen. The nine dots puzzle is a mathematical puzzle whose task is to connect nine squarely arranged points with a pen by four (or fewer) straight lines without lifting the pen or retracing any lines.
Word problem for linear bounded automata [25] Word problem for quasi-realtime automata [26] Emptiness problem for a nondeterministic two-way finite state automaton [27] [28] Equivalence problem for nondeterministic finite automata [29] [30] Word problem and emptiness problem for non-erasing stack automata [31]
The competition consists of 15 questions of increasing difficulty, where each answer is an integer between 000 and 999 inclusive. Thus the competition effectively removes the element of chance afforded by a multiple-choice test while preserving the ease of automated grading; answers are entered onto an OMR sheet, similar to the way grid-in math questions are answered on the SAT.
Induction puzzles are logic puzzles, which are examples of multi-agent reasoning, where the solution evolves along with the principle of induction. [1] [2]A puzzle's scenario always involves multiple players with the same reasoning capability, who go through the same reasoning steps.
A group of Democratic U.S. lawmakers will introduce a bill on Tuesday aimed at stopping the Trump administration from using government funds to eliminate the U.S. Agency for International ...
The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved mathematical problems, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, Yang–Mills existence and mass gap, and the Poincaré conjecture at the ...
Combinatorial problems of other types such as the enumeration of permutations and combinations had been considered since antiquity. Euler's recognition that the key information was the number of bridges and the list of their endpoints (rather than their exact positions) presaged the development of topology .
