An exponential generating function for the integer sequence a_0, a_1, ... is a function E(x) such that E(x) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)a_k(x^k)/(k!) (1) = ...

The primes with Legendre symbol (n/p)=1 (less than N=pi(d) for trial divisor d) which need be considered when using the quadratic sieve factorization method.

The compositeness test consisting of the application of Fermat's little theorem.

The Diophantine equation x^n+y^n=z^n. The assertion that this equation has no nontrivial solutions for n>2 has a long and fascinating history and is known as Fermat's last ...

Define G(a,n)=1/aint_0^infty[1-e^(aEi(-t))sum_(k=0)^(n-1)((-a)^k[Ei(-t)]^k)/(k!)]. Then the Flajolet-Odlyzko constant is defined as G(1/2,1)=0.757823011268... (OEIS A143297).

A set S is said to be GCD-closed if GCD(x_i,x_j) in S for 1<=i,j<=n.

The Machin-like formula 1/4pi=12cot^(-1)18+8cot^(-1)57-5cot^(-1)239.

The generalized Riemann hypothesis conjectures that neither the Riemann zeta function nor any Dirichlet L-series has a zero with real part larger than 1/2. Compare with ...

The Diophantine equation x^2+y^2=p can be solved for p a prime iff p=1 (mod 4) or p=2. The representation is unique except for changes of sign or rearrangements of x and y. ...

A geometric sequence is a sequence {a_k}, k=0, 1, ..., such that each term is given by a multiple r of the previous one. Another equivalent definition is that a sequence is ...
