The Evolution and Completeness of Number Systems
By: Bhavya Dabas
Number systems have been developed and extended over a long period of time, with the gaps in each system paving the path to a new one. more...
By: Bhavya Dabas
A series, in mathematics, is the sum of the terms of an underlying sequence. more...
Fermat's Little Theorem and RSA Cryptography
By: Bhavya Dabas
Pierre de Fermat's "Little Theorem" lies at the base of the RSA cryptographic algorithm. more...
Countable Sets and Uncountable Sets
By: Bhavya Dabas
A set is said to be countable if all its elements can be listed in the form of a sequence. more...
Srinivasa Ramanujan: A Biography
By: Bhavya Dabas
Born in a poor family in a south Indian village, Ramanujan greatly influenced the world of mathematics, in spite of his lack of formal education. more...

A sequence is a function from the set of natural numbers to any given set. more...
Michael Green and the Lucasian Chair
By: Bhavya Dabas
Michael Green, theoretical physicist, succeeds the likes of Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Babbage and Paul Dirac to become the next Lucasian Professor at Cambridge. more...
By: Bhavya Dabas
Until not too long ago, women were discouraged from studying science and mathematics. Even so, there were a select few who held their own and made their mark. more...
By: Bhavya Dabas
The Beal Conjecture is an interesting number theoretic problem that came about as a by-product of Andrew Beal's work on Fermat's Last Theorem. more...
By: Bhavya Dabas
Mathematical statements are either true or false. When they are neither, they remind mathematicians to formulate their theories more accurately. more...
Pythagoras' Theorem is a profound result that has allowed mathematicians to cut corners for centuries, and is surely among the greatest in all mathematics. more...
By: Steven Slater
Both a mathematical constant and an irrational value, the quest to find pi has absorbed mathematicians' minds for millennia. more...
Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal Number Systems
By: Martin Bell
Computers store data using binary numbers. Binary numbers take up space to write down, so the octal and hexadecimal number systems are used to abbreviate them. more...
Prime factors help when determining least common denominators and multiples. Prime factorization finds all the numbers (factors) which make up a larger number. more...
