... A number of the form 3s2 , where s is an integer, is called a one-third square. Show that u0 = 3 and u−4 = 12 are the only one-third squares in the sequence. Solution by the Proposer Assume that un = 3x2 . The proof is achieved in three stages. (a) Assume that n ≡ 1, 4, 6, −3, −2 (mod 14), n ≡ 2, 5, ...

... in total. Our object of interest is the steady state variety, which is the common zero set of the right hand sides of (1) and (2). This variety lives in K 19 , where K is an algebraically closed field that contains the rational numbers Q as well as the 36 parameters ki and ci . If these parameters a ...

... To see, that (4.3) works, let d=gcd(a,b). Then, by the definition of gcd, d|a and d|b. For any positive integer b, a can be expressed in the form a = kb+r r mod b a mod b = r with k, r integers. Therefore, (a mod b) = a-kb for some integer k. But because d|b, it also divides kb. We also have d|a. ...

The Group Structure of Elliptic Curves Defined over Finite Fields
... The next family of curves are conic sections, given by various degree 2 polynomials. It turns out, if there is one rational solution, then there are infinitely many. This can be shown using simple geometry (see [7, Chapter 1]) so the situation isn’t yet all that bad. The first interesting family of ...
