Exercise 1
... This means that we can try to divide the numbers in the set {1, ..., p − 1} into disjoint two-element sets (”pairs”) {a, inverse to a}. All the numbers will get into pairs except for two (who are they and why do they have no pair?). Now use the fact that the product of two numbers in such a pair is ...

Day 10: Precious Conjectures Grade 7
... • verify that the conjecture is true for the first ten numbers in the pattern. • select five additional numbers and verify that the conjecture is true for them. These numbers do not have to be consecutive or immediately follow the first ten numbers. • suppose that you were able to write valid statem ...
