  2. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25.. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3.

  3. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

    In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for arithmetic operations ...

    2 3 = 8 down 3; 3 3 = 27 down 1; 4 3 = 64 down 3; 5 3 = 125 up 1; 6 3 = 216 up 1; 7 3 = 343 down 3; 8 3 = 512 down 1; 9 3 = 729 down 3; 10 3 = 1000 up 1; There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two-digit number.

  5. Euclid's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid's_lemma

    Euclid's lemma — If a prime p divides the product ab of two integers a and b, then p must divide at least one of those integers a or b. For example, if p = 19 , a = 133 , b = 143 , then ab = 133 × 143 = 19019 , and since this is divisible by 19, the lemma implies that one or both of 133 or 143 must be as well.

  6. Karatsuba algorithm - Wikipedia

    To compute the product of 12345 and 6789, where B = 10, choose m = 3. We use m right shifts for decomposing the input operands using the resulting base (B m = 1000), as: 12345 = 12 · 1000 + 345 6789 = 6 · 1000 + 789. Only three multiplications, which operate on smaller integers, are used to compute three partial results: z 2 = 12 × 6 = 72 z ...

  7. 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯ - ⋯ - Wikipedia

    3s = 1.. The series ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 64 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 256 ⁠ + ⋯ lends itself to some particularly simple visual demonstrations because a square and a triangle both divide into four similar pieces, each of which contains ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ the area of the original.

    In the past five years, public universities pumped more than $10.3 billion in mandatory student fees and other subsidies into their sports programs, according to an examination by The Huffington Post and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

  9. Divided differences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divided_differences

    In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. [citation needed] Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation. [1] Divided differences is a recursive division process.
