... I'm afraid there was an error in the February issue of The Fibonacci Quarterly. Mr. Shallit's proof that phi is irrational is correct up to the point where he claims that 1/0 can't be an integer. He has no basis for making that claim, as 0 was defined as a rational number, not an integer. The proof ...

... and this describes an efficient algorithm for raising any integer to the 22nd power. If n is prime, the Fermat primality test will always output “probably prime.” But if n is composite, the algorithm will not output “composite” unless it randomly picks a Fermat witness for n. How hard is it to find ...

Law of large numbers
In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed.The LLN is important because it ""guarantees"" stable long-term results for the averages of some random events. For example, while a casino may lose money in a single spin of the roulette wheel, its earnings will tend towards a predictable percentage over a large number of spins. Any winning streak by a player will eventually be overcome by the parameters of the game. It is important to remember that the LLN only applies (as the name indicates) when a large number of observations are considered. There is no principle that a small number of observations will coincide with the expected value or that a streak of one value will immediately be ""balanced"" by the others (see the gambler's fallacy)
