  3. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    The class of questions where an answer can be verified in polynomial time is "NP", standing for "nondeterministic polynomial time". [Note 1] An answer to the P versus NP question would determine whether problems that can be verified in polynomial time can also be solved in polynomial time.

    The set {3,19} generates the group, which means that every element of (/) is of the form 3 a × 19 b (where a is 0, 1, 2, or 3, because the element 3 has order 4, and similarly b is 0 or 1, because the element 19 has order 2). Smallest primitive root mod n are (0 if no root exists)

    [3] [4] [5] They are named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci. [6] Fibonacci numbers appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much so that there is an entire journal dedicated to their study, the Fibonacci Quarterly.

  9. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set .
