  2. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    As an illustration of this, the parity cycle (1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0) and its sub-cycle (1 1 0 0) are associated to the same fraction ⁠ 5 / 7 ⁠ when reduced to lowest terms. In this context, assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture implies that (1 0) and (0 1) are the only parity cycles generated by positive whole numbers (1 and 2 ...

  3. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates , and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

  4. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    Bézout's theorem asserts that a well-behaved system whose equations have degrees d 1, ..., d n has at most d 1 ⋅⋅⋅d n solutions. This bound is sharp. If all the degrees are equal to d, this bound becomes d n and is exponential in the number of variables. (The fundamental theorem of algebra is the special case n = 1.)

    Like how 3+5 is the only way to break 8 into two primes, but 42 can broken into 5+37, 11+31, 13+29, and 19+23. So it feels like Goldbach’s Conjecture is an understatement for very large numbers.

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ x 3 + x + c. For polynomials whose coefficients come from more abstract settings (for example, if the coefficients are integers modulo some prime number p , or elements of an arbitrary ring), the formula for the derivative can still be interpreted formally, with the coefficient ...

  7. Hilbert's tenth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_tenth_problem

    Hilbert's tenth problem is the tenth on the list of mathematical problems that the German mathematician David Hilbert posed in 1900. It is the challenge to provide a general algorithm that, for any given Diophantine equation (a polynomial equation with integer coefficients and a finite number of unknowns), can decide whether the equation has a solution with all unknowns taking integer values.

  9. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    Two linear systems using the same set of variables are equivalent if each of the equations in the second system can be derived algebraically from the equations in the first system, and vice versa. Two systems are equivalent if either both are inconsistent or each equation of each of them is a linear combination of the equations of the other one.
