... first and last bits considered to be adjacent (i.e., the first bit follows the last bit). This condition is visible when the string is displayed in a circle with one bit "capped": the capped bit is the first bit and reading clockwise we see the second bit, the third bit, and so on to the nth bit (th ...

Mathematics of the Golden Section: from Euclid to contemporary
... This means that DEMR goes by the “red thread” through Euclid’s Elements and is one of the most important geometrical ideas of Euclid’s Elements. Why Euclid formulated Theorem II, 11? As is shown in [1] using this theorem he gave then a geometric construction of the “golden” isosceles triangle (Book ...

An Introduction to Complex Analysis and Geometry
... The geometry of the unit circle also allows us to determine the Pythagorean triples. We identify the Pythagorean triple (a, b, c) with the complex number ac +i cb ; we then realize that a Pythagorean triple corresponds to a rational point (in the first quadrant) on the unit circle. After determining ...

Addition
Addition (often signified by the plus symbol ""+"") is one of the four elementary, mathematical operations of arithmetic, with the others being subtraction, multiplication and division.The addition of two whole numbers is the total amount of those quantities combined. For example, in the picture on the right, there is a combination of three apples and two apples together; making a total of 5 apples. This observation is equivalent to the mathematical expression ""3 + 2 = 5"" i.e., ""3 add 2 is equal to 5"".Besides counting fruits, addition can also represent combining other physical objects. Using systematic generalizations, addition can also be defined on more abstract quantities, such as integers, rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers and other abstract objects such as vectors and matrices.In arithmetic, rules for addition involving fractions and negative numbers have been devised amongst others. In algebra, addition is studied more abstractly.Addition has several important properties. It is commutative, meaning that order does not matter, and it is associative, meaning that when one adds more than two numbers, the order in which addition is performed does not matter (see Summation). Repeated addition of 1 is the same as counting; addition of 0 does not change a number. Addition also obeys predictable rules concerning related operations such as subtraction and multiplication.Performing addition is one of the simplest numerical tasks. Addition of very small numbers is accessible to toddlers; the most basic task, 1 + 1, can be performed by infants as young as five months and even some non-human animals. In primary education, students are taught to add numbers in the decimal system, starting with single digits and progressively tackling more difficult problems. Mechanical aids range from the ancient abacus to the modern computer, where research on the most efficient implementations of addition continues to this day.
