Jumping through such a large list obviously increases the chances you miss a number or count it twice. But grouping numbers together does speed up mental arithmetic. For example, the …

In the context of cryptography, I need to find the private key of a message and I need to use modular arithmetic. I understand how modular arithmetic using a clock with whole numbers. …

The term arithmetic underflow (or "floating point underflow", or just "underflow") is a condition in a computer program where the result of a calculation is a number of smaller absolute value than …

The reason that equivalence class arithmetic proves smoother is that congruence mod m is not only an equivalence relation but is, additionally, an arithmetic congruence relation, i.e. it …

I am studying an undergraduate book of mathematical logic. After proving the two Gödel's theorems of incompleteness of formal theories, it asserts that some proofs of arithmetic's …

Arithmetic could roughly be described as working with the numbers we know within a particular system of numbers, and is often related in some way to working with things called integers …

6 this one is from Gelfand's book "Algebra". Problem 204. Is it possible that numbers $\frac {1} {2}$, $\frac {1} {3}$, and $\frac {1} {5}$ are (not necessarily adjacent) terms of the same …

Recently I had this doubt about the order of precedence of mathematical operations multiplication and division. Given that we have a simple question like this 80 / 10 * 5 without parenthesis, what

I'm trying to mentally summarize the names of the operands for basic operations. I've got this so far: Addition: Augend + Addend = Sum. Subtraction: Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference. …
