... Every good scientist knows that the best way to test a model or theory is to see how well its predictions agree with experimental data. In this case, my "experiment" was a computer program I wrote and ran on my Macintosh LCII to determine S(k; b) given k < 20000 and b < 20. Incidentally, it is not n ...

... (4) Observe that for the first few positive integers n, the number n2 − n is a multiple of 2. For example, 12 − 1 = 0, 22 − 2 = 2, 32 − 3 = 6, 42 − 4 = 12, etc. Is this always true? In other words, is n2 − n always a multiple of 2? Similarly, the numbers 13 − 1 = 0, 23 − 2 = 6, 33 − 3 = 24, 43 − 4 = ...

In this sense, the absolute value of any number is always positive. The absolute value of 3 is 3 (+3). The absolute value of -3 is also 3 (+3). Of course, this b ...

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.
