1.1 Patterns and Inductive Reasoning
... Inductive reasoning is very important to the study of mathematics. You look for a pattern in specific cases and then you write a conjecture that you think describes the general case. Remember, though, that just because something is true for several specific cases does not prove that it is true in ge ...

Pseudoprimes and Carmichael Numbers, by Emily Riemer
... (n − 1) − (p − 1) = n − p = pq − p = p(q − 1). And if q − 1 divides the linear combination (n − 1) − (p − 1) and also divides n − 1, then it must divide p − 1. But we have shown that q − 1 - p − 1. Therefore, we have a contradiction, and n cannot be a Carmichael number. It was not proven until 1994 ...

... For a positive integer a and w>2, define sn(a) to be the sum of the digits in the base n expansion of a. If sn is applied recursively, it clearly stabilizes at some value. Let S„(a) = s£(a) for all sufficiently large k. A Niven number [3] is a positive integer a that is divisible by $m(a). We define ...

List of important publications in mathematics
This is a list of important publications in mathematics, organized by field.Some reasons why a particular publication might be regarded as important:Topic creator – A publication that created a new topicBreakthrough – A publication that changed scientific knowledge significantlyInfluence – A publication which has significantly influenced the world or has had a massive impact on the teaching of mathematics. Among published compilations of important publications in mathematics are Landmark writings in Western mathematics 1640–1940 by Ivor Grattan-Guinness and A Source Book in Mathematics by David Eugene Smith.
