  2. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_Sudoku

    As outlined in the article of Latin squares, this is a Latin square of order . Now, to yield a Sudoku, let us permute the rows (or equivalently the columns) in such a way, that each block is redistributed exactly once into each block – for example order them 1 , 4 , 7 , 2 , 5 , 8 , 3 , 6 , 9 {\displaystyle 1,4,7,2,5,8,3,6,9} .

  3. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem_on_sums_of...

    If a number which is a sum of two squares is divisible by a prime which is a sum of two squares, then the quotient is a sum of two squares. (This is Euler's first Proposition). Indeed, suppose for example that a 2 + b 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}} is divisible by p 2 + q 2 {\displaystyle p^{2}+q^{2}} and that this latter is a prime.

  4. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    The numerator gives the number of ways to select a sequence of k distinct objects, retaining the order of selection, from a set of n objects. The denominator counts the number of distinct sequences that define the same k-combination when order is disregarded. This formula can also be stated in a recursive form.

  5. Coin problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem

    Sloping lines denote graphs of 2x+5y=n where n is the total in pence, and x and y are the non-negative number of 2p and 5p coins, respectively. A point on a line gives a combination of 2p and 5p for its given total (green). Multiple points on a line imply multiple possible combinations (blue). Only lines with n = 1 or 3 have no points (red).

  6. Combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

    In mathematics, a combination is a selection of items from a set that has distinct members, such that the order of selection does not matter (unlike permutations).For example, given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear, there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set: an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.

  7. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares.

  9. Sum of squares function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares_function

    The number of ways to write a natural number as sum of two squares is given by r 2 (n). It is given explicitly by = (() ()) where d 1 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 1 modulo 4 and d 3 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 3 modulo 4. Using sums, the expression can be written as:
