... where “division by a” is well-defined modulo c. (Indeed, with a = 689, c = 1489 we can check that a1 ≡ 389 (mod c), since (389)(689) = 268021 = (180)(1489) + 1.) So there is a unique v with 0 < v < c satisfying (1). To verify that this also satisfies (2), note that since a2 + b2 = c2 , we have b2 ≡ ...

The greatest common divisor: a case study for program extraction

Yiannis Moschovakis suggested the following example of a classical existence proof with a quantifier–free kernel which does not obviously contain an algorithm: the gcd of two natural numbers a1 and a2 is a linear combination of the two. Here we treat that example as a case study for program extracti ...

The divisors of 2p-1 are 1, 2, 22, ..., 2p-1. Since 2p-1 is prime, its only divisors are 1 and itself. Therefore, the proper divisors of x are 1, ...

Thus we obtain the product, say R, of all primes less than 103 which divide Φ97 (3). If ln R < 96 ln 3, then Φ97 (3) must contain a prime divisor gre ...

Mathematical proof

In mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. In the argument, other previously established statements, such as theorems, can be used. In principle, a proof can be traced back to self-evident or assumed statements, known as axioms. Proofs are examples of deductive reasoning and are distinguished from inductive or empirical arguments; a proof must demonstrate that a statement is always true (occasionally by listing all possible cases and showing that it holds in each), rather than enumerate many confirmatory cases. An unproved proposition that is believed true is known as a conjecture.Proofs employ logic but usually include some amount of natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In fact, the vast majority of proofs in written mathematics can be considered as applications of rigorous informal logic. Purely formal proofs, written in symbolic language instead of natural language, are considered in proof theory. The distinction between formal and informal proofs has led to much examination of current and historical mathematical practice, quasi-empiricism in mathematics, and so-called folk mathematics (in both senses of that term). The philosophy of mathematics is concerned with the role of language and logic in proofs, and mathematics as a language.
