Goldbach’s Pigeonhole
... conjecture? It turns out there are hundreds of integers for which we can prove the existence of two such primes nonconstructively via the pigeonhole principle. It does not always work, but how do we know when we have found all the cases for which it does? The answer turns out to be a nice applicatio ...

Asymptotic and unbounded behavior
... A general statement: Polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions are always continuous over their entire domain. This is also called everywhere continuous. If the function has domain all real numbers, then the function is continuous for all real numbers. If the functi ...

The number zero as we know it arrived in the West circa 1200, most famously delivered by Italian mathematician Fibonacci (aka Leonardo of Pisa), who brought it, along with the rest of the Arabic numerals, back from his travels to north Africa.

... Since f (x) is continuous and differentiable on [2, 4], there are two theorems that we might use to answer this question. The first is the Intermediate Value Theorem, which says that between 2 and 4 and any y-value between −1 and 3 there is at least one number c such that f (c) is equal to that y-va ...

This is called writing the fraction in LOWEST TERMS. The numerator and denominator should have no common factors (that can be divided out!) other than 1. ...
