Mollweide projection of the world The Mollweide projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. The Mollweide projection is an equal-area, pseudocylindrical map projection generally used for maps of the world or celestial sphere.
An important aspect in the study of elliptic curves is devising effective ways of counting points on the curve.There have been several approaches to do so, and the algorithms devised have proved to be useful tools in the study of various fields such as number theory, and more recently in cryptography and Digital Signature Authentication (See elliptic curve cryptography and elliptic curve DSA).
Graphs of curves y 2 = x 3 − x and y 2 = x 3 − x + 1. Although the formal definition of an elliptic curve requires some background in algebraic geometry, it is possible to describe some features of elliptic curves over the real numbers using only introductory algebra and geometry.
A culvert pipe under a road is a common target for beaver damming because the constriction speeds up the current and may resemble a hole in a dam. With a little work, a beaver can quickly plug a culvert with mud and sticks, and turn the entire roadbed into a large dam.
The U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped on Friday a decision on whether to allow shareholders to proceed with a securities fraud lawsuit accusing Meta's Facebook of misleading investors about the ...
The Lenstra elliptic-curve factorization method to find a factor of a given natural number works as follows: . Pick a random elliptic curve over / (the integers modulo ), with equation of the form = + + together with a non-trivial point (,) on it.
A Canadian woman was arrested after trying to smuggle over 20 pounds of methamphetamine through a New Zealand airport, authorities said. The illicit drugs were disguised as Christmas presents, New ...
