Recent investigations probe the arithmetic properties of these functions, exploring congruence relations and modular behaviour that reveal surprising regularities.

For novices, functions are one of the most intimidating features of OpenOffice.org's Calc. Newcomers quickly learn that functions are a main feature of spreadsheets, but there are almost four hundred, ...

Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition (but no multiplication). We characterize sets that can be defined by a Presburger formula as exactly the sets whose ...

Inspired by Rearick's work on logarithm and exponential functions of arithmetic functions, we introduce two new operators, LOG and EXP. The LOG operates on generalized Fibonacci polynomials giving ...

The latest effort to overhaul math and science education offers a fundamental rethinking of the basic structure of knowledge. But will it be given time to work?

Math 106 has no prerequisites and fulfills the math proficiency requirement. Math 108: Brief Calculus with Applications This course is an introduction to the calculus of polynomial, rational, ...

World's first programmable nanoprocessor: Nanowire tiles can perform arithmetic and logical functions Date: February 9, 2011 Source: Harvard University Summary: Scientists have developed and ...

Humans have been making symbols for numbers for thousands of years. Different cultures developed their own symbols, but all use addition and multiplication, suggesting arithmetic is a universal truth.

Here's why math fact fluency matters, and what we know from research about teaching strategies and timed exercises.
