  2. Galileo's law of odd numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_law_of_odd_numbers

    In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...

  3. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    from the formula for the tangent of the difference of angles. Using s instead of r in the above formulas will give the same primitive Pythagorean triple but with a and b swapped. Note that r and s can be reconstructed from a, b, and c using r = a / (b + c) and s = b / (a + c).

    If a representation has an odd number of terms, x/y is the middle term, while if it has an even number of terms and its minimum value is m it may be extended in a unique way to a longer sequence with the same sum and an odd number of terms, by including the 2m − 1 numbers −(m − 1), −(m − 2), ..., −1, 0, 1, ..., m − 2, m − 1.

    This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms. Exponential function [ edit ]

  6. Double factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    The term odd factorial is sometimes used for the double factorial of an odd number. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The term semifactorial is also used by Knuth as a synonym of double factorial.

  7. Integer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence

    An integer sequence is computable if there exists an algorithm that, given n, calculates a n, for all n > 0. The set of computable integer sequences is countable.The set of all integer sequences is uncountable (with cardinality equal to that of the continuum), and so not all integer sequences are computable.

  8. Interprime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interprime

    In mathematics, an interprime is the average of two consecutive odd primes. [1] For example, 9 is an interprime because it is the average of 7 and 11. The first interprimes are:

    For example, the diagram below shows n = 20 and the partition 20 = 7 + 6 + 4 + 3. Let m be the number of elements in the smallest row of the diagram (m = 3 in the above example). Let s be the number of elements in the rightmost 45 degree line of the diagram (s = 2 dots in red above, since 7
