A sequence of polynomials p_i(x), for i=0, 1, 2, ..., where p_i(x) is exactly of degree i for all i.

If a is (directly) proportional to b, then a/b is a constant. The relationship is written a proportional b, which implies a=cb, for some constant c known as the constant of ...

The modular equation of degree five can be written (u/v)^3+(v/u)^3=2(u^2v^2-1/(u^2v^2)).

An algorithm which finds the least nonnegative value of sqrt(a (mod p)) for given a and prime p.

A congruence that has a solution.

If the Lexis ratio L<1, a set of trials are said to be subnormal.

A quantity which is subtracted from another (the minuend).

The double-struck capital letter I, I, is a symbol sometimes used instead of Z for the ring of integers. In contrast, the lower case symbol i is used to refer to the ...

A congruence of the form f(x)=0 (mod n) where f(x) is an integer polynomial (Nagell 1951, p. 73).

An Artin L-function over the rationals Q encodes in a generating function information about how an irreducible monic polynomial over Z factors when reduced modulo each prime. ...
