Given a Farey sequence with consecutive terms h/k and h^'/k^', then the mediant is defined as the reduced form of the fraction (h+h^')/(k+k^').

A Meeussen sequence is an increasing sequence of positive integers (m_1, m_2, ...) such that m_1=1, every nonnegative integer is the sum of a subset of the {m_i}, and each ...

A method used by Gauss to solve the quadratic Diophantine equation of the form mx^2+ny^2=A (Dickson 2005, pp. 391 and 407).

The minimal residue of a (mod m) is the value b or b-m, whichever is smaller in absolute value, where a=b (mod m). If m=2b (so that b=|b-m|), then the minimal residue is ...

A mixed fraction is an improper fraction p/q>1 written in the form n+r/s. In common usage such as cooking recipes, n+r/s is often written as n r/s (e.g., 1 1/2), much to the ...

A multiplicand is a quantity that is multiplied by another (the multiplier). For example, in the expression a×b, b is the multiplicand. The result of the multiplication of ...

A quantity by which another (the multiplicand) is multiplied. For example, in the expression a×b, a is the multiplier. The result of the multiplication of two or more ...

The British word for "zero." It is often used to indicate 0 subscripts, so a_0 would be spoken as "a naught."

A negative integer is one of the integers ..., -4, -3, -2, -1 obtained by negating the positive integers. The negative integers are commonly denoted Z^-.
