In the United States, the term mixed-breed is a favored synonym over mongrel among people who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. [2] The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds.
Kummer's theorem states that the number of carries involved in adding two numbers in base is equal to the exponent of the highest power of dividing a certain binomial coefficient. When several random numbers of many digits are added, the statistics of the carry digits bears an unexpected connection with Eulerian numbers and the statistics of ...

A Greek square and a Latin square should be paired such that their row shifts are in mutually opposite direction. The magic square is obtained by adding the Greek and Latin squares. When the order also happens to be a prime number, this method always creates pandiagonal magic square. This essentially re-creates the knight's move.
For this reason, a "simply connected nonblocking switch" 16x16 switch with four input subswitches and four output switches was thought to require 7 middle switches; in the worst case an almost-full input subswitch would use three middle switches, an almost-full output subswitch would use three different ones, and the seventh would be guaranteed ...
Imagining Numbers: (particularly the square root of minus fifteen) is a 2003 popular mathematics book by mathematician Barry Mazur. [1] The aim of the book is not a history of imaginary numbers but an attempt to re-create, in ourselves, the shift of mathematical thought that makes it possible to imagine these numbers. [2]
The Wild Numbers is a mathematical fiction in the form of a short novel by Philibert Schogt, a Dutch philosopher and mathematician. It was first published in Dutch (as "De wilde getallen") in 1998 and an English translation appeared in 2000. [1] Through this work the author is trying to provide insights to the workings of a mathematics-obsessed ...
