The amazing polynomial identity communicated by Euler in a letter to Goldbach on April 12, 1749 (incorrectly given as April 15, 1705--before Euler was born--in Conway and Guy ...

The Fermat quotient for a number a and a prime base p is defined as q_p(a)=(a^(p-1)-1)/p. (1) If pab, then q_p(ab) = q_p(a)+q_p(b) (2) q_p(p+/-1) = ∓1 (3) (mod p), where the ...

This is sometimes knows as the "bars and stars" method. Suppose a recipe called for 5 pinches of spice, out of 9 spices. Each possibility is an arrangement of 5 spices ...

The surface generated by a twisted curve C when rotated about a fixed axis A and, at the same time, displaced parallel to A so that the velocity of displacement is always ...

The great inverted snub icosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 69 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 113 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 73 (Coxeter et al. ...

The great retrosnub icosidodecahedron, also called the great inverted retrosnub icosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 74 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger ...

The great snub icosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 57 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 116 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 88 (Coxeter et al. 1954), ...

A cycle of a finite group G is a minimal set of elements {A^0,A^1,...,A^n} such that A^0=A^n=I, where I is the identity element. A diagram of a group showing every cycle in ...

The heptanacci numbers are a generalization of the Fibonacci numbers defined by H_0=0, H_1=1, H_2=1, H_3=2, H_4=4, H_5=8, H_6=16, and the recurrence relation ...

The hexanacci numbers are a generalization of the Fibonacci numbers defined by H_0=0, H_1=1, H_2=1, H_3=2, H_4=4, H_5=8, and the recurrence relation ...
