  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1 [1][2] and some (as did Fibonacci) from 1 ...

  3. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    A de Bruijn sequence can be used to shorten a brute-force attack on a PIN -like code lock that does not have an "enter" key and accepts the last n digits entered. For example, a digital door lock with a 4-digit code (each digit having 10 possibilities, from 0 to 9) would have B (10, 4) solutions, with length 10 000.

  4. Fibonacci prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_prime

    A prime divides if and only if p is congruent to ±1 modulo 5, and p divides + if and only if it is congruent to ±2 modulo 5. (For p = 5, F 5 = 5 so 5 divides F 5) . Fibonacci numbers that have a prime index p do not share any common divisors greater than 1 with the preceding Fibonacci numbers, due to the identity: [6]

  5. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_Sudoku

    Mathematical context. The general problem of solving Sudoku puzzles on n2 × n2 grids of n × n blocks is known to be NP-complete. [8] A puzzle can be expressed as a graph coloring problem. [9] The aim is to construct a 9-coloring of a particular graph, given a partial 9-coloring. The Sudoku graph has 81 vertices, one vertex for each cell.

  6. Graphing calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphing_calculator

    Graphing calculator. A graphing calculator (also graphics calculator or graphic display calculator) is a handheld computer that is capable of plotting graphs, solving simultaneous equations, and performing other tasks with variables. Most popular graphing calculators are programmable calculators, allowing the user to create customized programs ...

  7. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    For example, squaring the number "1111" yields "1234321", which can be written as "01234321", an 8-digit number being the square of a 4-digit number. This gives "2343" as the "random" number. Repeating this procedure gives "4896" as the next result, and so on. Von Neumann used 10 digit numbers, but the process was the same.

  8. Mersenne prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime

    In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two.That is, it is a prime number of the form M n = 2 n − 1 for some integer n.They are named after Marin Mersenne, a French Minim friar, who studied them in the early 17th century.
