of integers satisfying a linear recursion relation
... if it can be factored into an irreducible quadratic factor and a linear factor, we shall say that it is of "type [2,1]" and so on. In any case, the factorization is unique; denote the roots which correspond to linear factors by small italic letters a, b, c and the roots which correspond to irreducib ...

Families of elliptic curves of high rank with nontrivial torsion group
... to Z/2Z × Z/2Z. In order to obtain such curves we will apply the following method due to J.-F. Mestre [Mes1]. Let X, X1 , X2 , X3 , X4 be five indeterminates and K = Q(X1 , X2 , X3 , X4 ). Q4 Let P ∈ K[X] be the polynomial P (X) = i=1 (X − Xi ) = X 4 + c3 X 3 + c2 X 2 + c1 X + c0 . It may be written ...

Unit 1: Extending the Number System
... An exponent is a quantity that shows the number of times a given number is being multiplied by itself in an exponential expression. In other words, in an expression written in the form ax, x is the exponent. So far, the exponents we have worked with have all been integers, numbers that are not fract ...
