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 bottom 3 …

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. But I get really …

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 …

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 respects the …

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 consistency exis...

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 (whole numbers) …

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 arithmetic …

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. Multiplicati...
