  2. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

  3. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    Square number 16 as sum of gnomons. In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; [1] in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals 3 2 and can be written as 3 × 3.

    10 1 1 3 = 1 × 3 3 + 0 × 3 2 − 1 × 3 1 + 1 × 3 0 = 25. The factorial number system uses a varying radix, giving factorials as place values; they are related to Chinese remainder theorem and residue number system enumerations. This system effectively enumerates permutations.

  5. Square triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_triangular_number

    Consequently, a square number is also triangular if and only if + is square, that is, there are numbers and such that =. This is an instance of the Pell equation x 2 − n y 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}-ny^{2}=1} with n = 8 {\displaystyle n=8} .

  6. Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric...

    Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.

  7. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The division with remainder or Euclidean division of two natural numbers provides an integer quotient, which is the number of times the second number is completely contained in the first number, and a remainder, which is the part of the first number that remains, when in the course of computing the quotient, no further full chunk of the size of ...

  8. Ramanujan–Nagell equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan–Nagell_equation

    In mathematics, in the field of number theory, the Ramanujan–Nagell equation is an equation between a square number and a number that is seven less than a power of two.It is an example of an exponential Diophantine equation, an equation to be solved in integers where one of the variables appears as an exponent.

  9. Galileo's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_paradox

    Not only so, but the proportionate number of squares diminishes as we pass to larger numbers, Thus up to 100 we have 10 squares, that is, the squares constitute 1/10 part of all the numbers; up to 10000, we find only 1/100 part to be squares; and up to a million only 1/1000 part; on the other hand in an infinite number, if one could conceive of ...
