Parasitic Number
In mathematics, an ''n''-parasitic number (in base 10) is a positive natural number which, when multiplied by ''n'', results in movement of the last digit of its decimal representation to its front. Here ''n'' is itself a single-digit positive natural number. In other words, the decimal representation undergoes a right circular shift by one place. For example: :4 × 128205 = 512820, so 128205 is 4-parasitic. Most mathematicians do not allow leading zeros to be used, and that is a commonly followed convention. So even though 4 × 25641 = 102564, the number 25641 is ''not'' 4-parasitic. Derivation An ''n''-parasitic number can be derived by starting with a digit ''k'' (which should be equal to ''n'' or greater) in the rightmost (units) place, and working up one digit at a time. For example, for ''n'' = 4 and ''k'' = 7 :4 × 7 = 28 :4 × 87 = 348 :4 × 487 = 1948 :4 × 9487 = 37948 :4 × 79487 = 317948 :4& ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

New York Times Magazine
''The New York Times Magazine'' is an American Sunday magazine included with the Sunday edition of ''The New York Times''. It features articles longer than those typically in the newspaper and has attracted many notable contributors. The magazine is noted for its photography, especially relating to fashion and style. History 19th century Its first issue was published on September 6, 1896, and contained the first photographs ever printed in the newspaper.The New York Times CompanyNew York Times Timeline 1881-1910. Retrieved on 2009-03-13. In the early decades, it was a section of the broadsheet paper and not an insert as it is today. The creation of a "serious" Sunday magazine was part of a massive overhaul of the newspaper instigated that year by its new owner, Adolph Ochs, who also banned fiction, comic strips, and gossip columns from the paper, and is generally credited with saving ''The New York Times'' from financial ruin.

Oxford University Press
Oxford University Press (OUP) is the publishing house of the University of Oxford. It is the largest university press in the world. Its first book was printed in Oxford in 1478, with the Press officially granted the legal right to print books by decree in 1586. It is the second-oldest university press after Cambridge University Press, which was founded in 1534. It is a department of the University of Oxford. It is governed by a group of 15 academics, the Delegates of the Press, appointed by the Vice Chancellor, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford. The Delegates of the Press are led by the Secretary to the Delegates, who serves as OUP's chief executive and as its major representative on other university bodies. Oxford University Press has had a similar governance structure since the 17th century. The press is located on Walton Street, Oxford, Walton Street, Oxford, opposite Somerville College, Oxford, Somerville College, in the inner suburb of Jericho, Oxford, Jericho. ...

Transposable Integer
In mathematics, the transposable integers are integers that permute or shift cyclically when they are multiplied by another integer n. Examples are: *142857 × 3 = 428571 (shifts cyclically one place left) *142857 × 5 = 714285 (shifts cyclically one place right) *128205 × 4 = 512820 (shifts cyclically one place right) *076923 × 9 = 692307 (shifts cyclically two places left) These transposable integers can be but are not always cyclic numbers. The characterization of such numbers can be done using repeating decimals (and thus the related fractions), or directly. General For any integer coprime to 10, its reciprocal is a repeating decimal without any non-recurring digits. E.g. = 0.006993... While the expression of a single series with vinculum on top is adequate, the intention of the above expression is to show that the six cyclic permutations of 006993 can be obtained from this repeating decimal if we select six consecutive digits from the repeating ...

Linear-feedback Shift Register
In computing, a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a Linear#Boolean functions, linear function of its previous state. The most commonly used linear function of single bits is exclusive-or (XOR). Thus, an LFSR is most often a shift register whose input bit is driven by the XOR of some bits of the overall shift register value. The initial value of the LFSR is called the seed, and because the operation of the register is deterministic, the stream of values produced by the register is completely determined by its current (or previous) state. Likewise, because the register has a finite number of possible states, it must eventually enter a repeating cycle. However, an LFSR with a Primitive polynomial (field theory), well-chosen feedback function can produce a sequence of bits that appears random and has a Maximal length sequence, very long cycle. Applications of LFSRs include generating Pseudorandomness, pseudo-random numbers, Pseudorandom n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyclic Number
A cyclic number is an integer for which cyclic permutations of the digits are successive integer multiples of the number. The most widely known is the six-digit number 142857, whose first six integer multiples are :142857 × 1 = 142857 :142857 × 2 = 285714 :142857 × 3 = 428571 :142857 × 4 = 571428 :142857 × 5 = 714285 :142857 × 6 = 857142 Details To qualify as a cyclic number, it is required that consecutive multiples be cyclic permutations. Thus, the number 076923 would not be considered a cyclic number, because even though all cyclic permutations are multiples, they are not consecutive integer multiples: :076923 × 1 = 076923 :076923 × 3 = 230769 :076923 × 4 = 307692 :076923 × 9 = 692307 :076923 × 10 = 769230 :076923 × 12 = 923076 The following trivial cases are typically excluded: #single digits, e.g.: 5 #repeated digits, e.g.: 555 #repeated cyclic numbers, e.g.: 142857142857 If leading zeros are no ...

P-adic Integer
In number theory, given a prime number , the -adic numbers form an extension of the rational numbers which is distinct from the real numbers, though with some similar properties; -adic numbers can be written in a form similar to (possibly infinity (mathematics), infinite) decimal representation, decimals, but with digits based on a prime number rather than ten, and extending to the left rather than to the right. For example, comparing the expansion of the rational number \tfrac15 in Ternary numeral system, base vs. the -adic expansion, \begin \tfrac15 &= 0.01210121\ldots \ (\text 3) &&= 0\cdot 3^0 + 0\cdot 3^ + 1\cdot 3^ + 2\cdot 3^ + \cdots \\[5mu] \tfrac15 &= \dots 121012102 \ \ (\text) &&= \cdots + 2\cdot 3^3 + 1 \cdot 3^2 + 0\cdot3^1 + 2 \cdot 3^0. \end Formally, given a prime number , a -adic number can be defined as a series (mathematics), series s=\sum_^\infty a_i p^i = a_k p^k + a_ p^ + a_ p^ + \cdots where is an integer (possibly negative), and each ...

Duodecimal
The duodecimal system, also known as base twelve or dozenal, is a positional numeral system using twelve as its base. In duodecimal, the number twelve is denoted "10", meaning 1 twelve and 0 units; in the decimal system, this number is instead written as "12" meaning 1 ten and 2 units, and the string "10" means ten. In duodecimal, "100" means twelve squared (144), "1,000" means twelve cubed (1,728), and "0.1" means a twelfth (0.08333...). Various symbols have been used to stand for ten and eleven in duodecimal notation; this page uses and , as in hexadecimal, which make a duodecimal count from zero to twelve read 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, , , and finally 10. The Dozenal Societies of America and Great Britain (organisations promoting the use of duodecimal) use turned digits in their published material: (a turned 2) for ten (dek, pronounced dɛk) and (a turned 3) for eleven (el, pronounced ɛl). The number twelve, a superior highly composite number, is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
