Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning, Saylor 111 Fractions
... (c) Notice that the mediant of two fractions depends on the way they are represented and not just on their value. Explain Simpson’s Paradox in terms of mediants. (d) Define the mediant M of two fractions a/b and c/d with the notation M (a/b, c/d). So M (a/b, c/d) = (a + c)/(b + d). This operation is ...

Numerical Mathematical Analysis
... Computers use 2 formats for numbers. Fixed-point numbers are used to store integers. Typically, each number is stored in a computer word of 32 binary digits (bits) with values of 0 and 1. ⇒ at most 232 different numbers can be stored. If we allow for negative numbers, we can represent integers in th ...

Week 6: Weekly Challenge Solutions
... A line passes through a square so that it makes two symmetrical triangles. What is the smallest angle in these two triangles? Answer: 45° Solution: We first note that the line must pass through two diagonally opposite corners of the square as otherwise at least one shape is not a triangle. There are ...

Arithmetic
Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek ἀριθμός arithmos, ""number"") is the oldest and most elementary branch of mathematics. It consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the traditional operations between them—addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory.
