  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F n .

  3. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    In computing, the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, called the modulus of the operation.. Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor.

    Euler diagram for P, NP, NP-complete, and NP-hard set of problems (excluding the empty language and its complement, which belong to P but are not NP-complete) Main article: P versus NP problem The question is whether or not, for all problems for which an algorithm can verify a given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time ), an algorithm ...

    Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8. So it is basically 857 + 100 = 957. Or if 43 x 11 is equal to first 4+3=7 (For the tens digit) Then 4 is for the hundreds and 3 is for the tens. And the answer is 473.

  6. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Popular mathematics is the act of presenting mathematics without technical terms. [208] Presenting mathematics may be hard since the general public suffers from mathematical anxiety and mathematical objects are highly abstract. [209] However, popular mathematics writing can overcome this by using applications or cultural links. [210]

  7. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The solutions of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 correspond to the roots of the function f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c, since they are the values of x for which f(x) = 0. If a , b , and c are real numbers and the domain of f is the set of real numbers, then the roots of f are exactly the x - coordinates of the points where the graph touches the ...

  8. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term; the degree (sometimes called the total degree) of the polynomial is again the maximum of the degrees of all terms in the polynomial. For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x ...

  9. Number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory

    The rephrasing of questions on equations in terms of points on curves is felicitous. The finiteness or not of the number of rational or integer points on an algebraic curve (that is, rational or integer solutions to an equation f ( x , y ) = 0 {\displaystyle f(x,y)=0} , where f {\displaystyle f} is a polynomial in two variables) depends ...
