3.3 Real Zeros of Polynomials
... zeros has multiplicity 2, Descsartes’ Rule of Signs would count this as two zeros. Lastly, note that the number of positive or negative real zeros always starts with the number of sign changes and decreases by an even number. For example, if f (x) has 7 sign changes, then, counting multplicities, f ...

A rational approach to π
... During the weeks preceding Pi-day in Leiden, and of course on the day itself, it has once more become clear that the number π has an alluring appeal to a very broad audience. A possible explanation for this interest is that π is the only transcendental number which most people have ever seen and wil ...

Definition 1.1 An ordered pair is a list ( x, y) of two things x and y, enclosed in parentheses and separated by a comma. For example, (2, 4) is an ordered pa ...

The Foundations of Algebra
... It does not matter what meaning one gives to the symbol x. Although this level of abstraction can create some difficulty, it is the nature of algebra that permits us to distill the essentials of problem solving into such rudimentary formulas. In the examples noted above, we used the counting or natu ...

A Multidimensional Continued Fraction Generalization of Stern`s
... Stern’s diatomic sequence is linked to continued fractions [34]. (This can also be seen in how the diatomic sequence can be interpreted via the Farey decomposition of the unit interval.) There is a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm which generates in an analogous fashion Stern’s triatomi ...
