Pentadecimal
There are many different numeral systems, that is, writing systems for expressing numbers. By culture / time period By type of notation Numeral systems are classified here as to whether they use positional notation (also known as place-value notation), and further categorized by radix or base. Standard positional numeral systems The common names are derived somewhat arbitrarily from a mix of Latin and Greek, in some cases including roots from both languages within a single name. There have been some proposals for standardisation. Non-standard positional numeral systems Bijective numeration Signed-digit representation Negative bases The common names of the negative base numeral systems are formed using the prefix ''nega-'', giving names such as: Complex bases Non-integer bases ''n''-adic number Mixed radix * Factorial number system * Even double factorial number system * Odd double factorial number system * Primorial number system * Fibonorial n ...

Quaternary Numeral System
A quaternary numeral system is base-. It uses the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 to represent any real number. Conversion from binary is straightforward. Four is the largest number within the subitizing range and one of two numbers that is both a square and a highly composite number (the other being 36), making quaternary a convenient choice for a base at this scale. Despite being twice as large, its radix economy is equal to that of binary. However, it fares no better in the localization of prime numbers (the smallest better base being the primorial base six, senary). Quaternary shares with all fixed- radix numeral systems many properties, such as the ability to represent any real number with a canonical representation (almost unique) and the characteristics of the representations of rational numbers and irrational numbers. See decimal and binary for a discussion of these properties. Relation to other positional number systems Relation to binary and hexadecimal As with the o ...

27 (number)
27 (twenty-seven; Roman numeral XXVII) is the natural number following 26 and preceding 28. In mathematics * Twenty-seven is a cube of 3: 3^3=3\times 3\times 3. 27 is also 23 (see tetration). There are exactly 27 straight lines on a smooth cubic surface, which give a basis of the fundamental representation of the E6 Lie algebra. 27 is also a decagonal number. * In decimal, it is the first composite number not divisible by any of its digits. * It is the radix (base) of the septemvigesimal positional numeral system. * 27 is the only positive integer that is 3 times the sum of its digits. * In a prime reciprocal magic square of the multiples of , the magic constant is 27. * In the Collatz conjecture (aka the "3n+1 conjecture"), a starting value of 27 requires 111 steps to reach 1, more than any number smaller than it. * The unique simple formally real Jordan algebra, the exceptional Jordan algebra of self-adjoint 3 by 3 matrices of quaternions, is 27-dimensional. * In dec ...

Colossally Abundant Number
In mathematics, a colossally abundant number (sometimes abbreviated as CA) is a natural number that, in a particular, rigorous sense, has many divisors. Formally, a number ''n'' is said to be colossally abundant if there is an ε > 0 such that for all ''k'' > 1, :\frac\geq\frac where ''σ'' denotes the sum-of-divisors function. All colossally abundant numbers are also superabundant numbers, but the converse is not true. The first 15 colossally abundant numbers, 2, 6, 12, 60, 120, 360, 2520, 5040, 55440, 720720, 1441440, 4324320, 21621600, 367567200, 6983776800 are also the first 15 superior highly composite numbers, but neither set is a subset of the other. History Colossally abundant numbers were first studied by Ramanujan and his findings were intended to be included in his 1915 paper on highly composite numbers. Unfortunately, the publisher of the journal to which Ramanujan submitted his work, the London Mathematical Society, was in financ ...

Superabundant Number
In mathematics, a superabundant number (sometimes abbreviated as SA) is a certain kind of natural number. A natural number ''n'' is called superabundant precisely when, for all ''m'' < ''n'' :\frac 6/5. Superabundant numbers were defined by . Unknown to Alaoglu and Erdős, about 30 pages of Ramanujan's 1915 paper "Highly Composite Numbers" were suppressed. Those pages were finally published in The Ramanujan Journal 1 (1997), 119–153. In section 59 of that paper, Ramanujan defines generalized highly composite numbers, which include the superabundant numbers. Properties proved that if ''n'' is superabundant, then there exist a ''k'' and ''a''1, ''a''2, ..., ''a''''k'' such that :n=\prod_^k (p_i)^ where ''p''i is the ''i''-th prime number, and :a_1\geq a_2\geq\dotsb\geq a_k\geq 1. That is, they proved that if ''n'' is superabundant, the prime decomposition of ''n'' has non-increasing exponents (the exponent of a larger prime is never more than that a smaller prime) and ...

13 (number)
13 (thirteen) is the natural number following 12 and preceding 14. Strikingly folkloric aspects of the number 13 have been noted in various cultures around the world: one theory is that this is due to the cultures employing lunar-solar calendars (there are approximately 12.41 lunations per solar year, and hence 12 "true months" plus a smaller, and often portentous, thirteenth month). This can be witnessed, for example, in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" of Western European tradition. In mathematics The number 13 is the sixth prime number. It is a twin prime with 11, as well as a cousin prime with 17. It is the second Wilson prime, of three known (the others being 5 and 563), and the smallest emirp in decimal. 13 is: *The second star number: *The third centered square number: * A happy number and a lucky number. *A Fibonacci number, preceded by 5 and 8. *The smallest number whose fourth power can be written as a sum of two consecutive square numbers (1192 + 1202). *The s ...

Supersingular Prime (moonshine Theory)
In the mathematical branch of moonshine theory, a supersingular prime is a prime number that divides the order of the Monster group ''M'', which is the largest sporadic simple group. There are precisely fifteen supersingular prime numbers: the first eleven primes ( 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31), as well as 41, 47, 59, and 71. The non-supersingular primes are 37, 43, 53, 61, 67, and any prime number greater than or equal to 73. Supersingular primes are related to the notion of supersingular elliptic curves as follows. For a prime number ''p'', the following are equivalent: # The modular curve ''X''0+(''p'') = ''X''0(''p'') / ''w''p, where ''w''p is the Fricke involution of ''X''0(''p''), has genus zero. # Every supersingular elliptic curve in characteristic ''p'' can be defined over the prime subfield F''p''. # The order of the Monster group is divisible by ''p''. The equivalence is due to Andrew Ogg. More precisely, in 1975 Ogg showed that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magic Square
In recreational mathematics, a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, is called a magic square if the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same. The 'order' of the magic square is the number of integers along one side (''n''), and the constant sum is called the ' magic constant'. If the array includes just the positive integers 1,2,...,n^2, the magic square is said to be 'normal'. Some authors take magic square to mean normal magic square. Magic squares that include repeated entries do not fall under this definition and are referred to as 'trivial'. Some well-known examples, including the Sagrada Família magic square and the Parker square are trivial in this sense. When all the rows and columns but not both diagonals sum to the magic constant this gives a ''semimagic square (sometimes called orthomagic square). The mathematical study of magic squares typically deals with their construction, classification, and enumeration. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magic Constant
The magic constant or magic sum of a magic square is the sum of numbers in any row, column, or diagonal of the magic square. For example, the magic square shown below has a magic constant of 15. For a normal magic square of order ''n'' – that is, a magic square which contains the numbers 1, 2, ..., ''n''2 – the magic constant is M = n \cdot \frac. For normal magic squares of orders ''n'' = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the magic constants are, respectively: 15, 34, 65, 111, 175, and 260 (sequence A006003 in the OEIS). For example, a normal 8 × 8 square will always equate to 260 for each row, column, or diagonal. The normal magic constant of order n is (n^3+n)/2. The largest magic constant of normal magic square which is also a: *triangular number is 15 (solve the Diophantine equation x^2=y^3+16y+16, where y is divisible by 4); *square number is 1 (solve the Diophantine equation x^2=y^3+4y, where y is even); *generalized pentagonal number is 171535 (solve the Diophanti ...

Shor's Algorithm
Shor's algorithm is a quantum algorithm, quantum computer algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. It was developed in 1994 by the American mathematician Peter Shor. On a quantum computer, to factor an integer N , Shor's algorithm runs in polynomial time, meaning the time taken is polynomial in \log N , the size of the integer given as input. Specifically, it takes quantum logic gate, quantum gates of order O \! \left((\log N)^ (\log \log N) (\log \log \log N) \right) using fast multiplication, or even O \! \left((\log N)^ (\log \log N) \right) utilizing the asymptotically fastest multiplication algorithm currently known due to Harvey and Van Der Hoven, thus demonstrating that the integer factorization problem can be efficiently solved on a quantum computer and is consequently in the complexity class BQP. This is almost exponentially faster than the most efficient known classical factoring algorithm, the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
7 (number)
7 (seven) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. It is the only prime number preceding a cube. As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven Classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. It is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable. Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, Indians wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the digit fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
