Signed binary angle measurement. Black is traditional degrees representation, green is a BAM as a decimal number and red is hexadecimal 32-bit BAM. In this figure the 32-bit binary integers are interpreted as signed binary fixed-point values with scaling factor 2 −31, representing fractions between −1.0 (inclusive) and +1.0 (exclusive).
Let p be an interior point of the disk, and let n be a multiple of 4 that is greater than or equal to 8. Form n sectors of the disk with equal angles by choosing an arbitrary line through p, rotating the line n / 2 − 1 times by an angle of 2 π / n radians, and slicing the disk on each of the resulting n / 2 lines.
For example, if we consider some of the permutations of the integers 1,2,3,4,5, we have that (,,,,) =, because there are alternating subsequences of length 2, (for example 5,4 or 5,2 or 3,1), but all subsequences of length 3 are not alternating;
The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.
There are 4 dihedral subgroups: Dih 8, Dih 4, Dih 2, and Dih 1, and 5 cyclic subgroups: Z 16, Z 8, Z 4, Z 2, and Z 1, the last implying no symmetry. On the regular hexadecagon, there are 14 distinct symmetries. John Conway labels full symmetry as r32 and no symmetry is labeled a1.
In the base −2 representation, a signed number is represented using a number system with base −2. In conventional binary number systems, the base, or radix, is 2; thus the rightmost bit represents 2 0, the next bit represents 2 1, the next bit 2 2, and so on. However, a binary number system with base −2 is also possible.
For n = 5, the Schur cover of the alternating group is given by SL(2, 5) → PSL(2, 5) ≅ A 5, which can also be thought of as the binary icosahedral group covering the icosahedral group. Though PGL(2, 5) ≅ S 5 , GL(2, 5) → PGL(2, 5) is not a Schur cover as the kernel is not contained in the derived subgroup of GL(2 ,5).
A quadrilateral such as BCEF is called an adventitious quadrangle when the angles between its diagonals and sides are all rational angles, angles that give rational numbers when measured in degrees or other units for which the whole circle is a rational number. Numerous adventitious quadrangles beyond the one appearing in Langley's puzzle have ...
