Irrational numbers
... Irrational numbers can be written only as decimals that do not terminate or repeat. They cannot be written as the quotient of two integers. If a whole number is not a perfect square, then its square root is an irrational number. For example, 2 is not a perfect square, so 2 is irrational. Caution! A ...

Direct Proof
... The simplest and most straightforward type of proof is a “direct” proof, which we’ll call any proof that follows straight from the definitions or from a direct calculation. Here’s a couple of examples: First we’ll prove the following statement: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. This p ...

... Arithmetic in Fqn , q prime, is integer arithmetic modulo q. Arithmetic in Fqn is efficiently performed by table lookup methods, as shown below. Nonzero elements of Fqn are represented by powers of a primitive element α. Multiplication is then performed by adding exponents modulo qn − 1. For addition ...

... 5. Let X be a locally noetherian scheme. Prove that the set of irreducible components of X is locally finite, i.e. that every point of X has an open neighborhood which meets only finitely many irreducible components of X. Solution: By definition the irreducible components of a topological space are ...
