  2. Hurwitz problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz_problem

    The problem is uninteresting for K of characteristic 2, since over such fields every sum of squares is a square, and we exclude this case. It is believed that otherwise admissibility is independent of the field of definition. [1]: 137

  3. Hurwitz's theorem (composition algebras) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz's_theorem...

    Since the sum of the squares of the dimensions equals |G| and the dimensions divide |G|, the two irreducibles must have dimension 2 (N − 2)/2. When N is even, there are two and their dimension must divide the order of the group, so is a power of two, so they must both have dimension 2 (N − 2)/2. The space on which the V i 's act can be ...

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

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

    For the avoidance of ambiguity, zero will always be a valid possible constituent of "sums of two squares", so for example every square of an integer is trivially expressible as the sum of two squares by setting one of them to be zero. 1. The product of two numbers, each of which is a sum of two squares, is itself a sum of two squares.

  5. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations versus input size for each function. The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    This division sign is also used alone to represent the division operation itself, as for instance as a label on a key of a calculator. The obelus was introduced by Swiss mathematician Johann Rahn in 1659 in Teutsche Algebra. [10]: 211 The ÷ symbol is used to indicate subtraction in some European countries, so its use may be misunderstood. [11]

  9. Sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares

    Legendre's three-square theorem states which numbers can be expressed as the sum of three squares; Jacobi's four-square theorem gives the number of ways that a number can be represented as the sum of four squares. For the number of representations of a positive integer as a sum of squares of k integers, see Sum of squares function.
