Key Concepts
A system dealing with remainders when
A system dealing with remainders when integers are divided. X mod Y = R means X leaves remainder R when divided by Y. Properties include (A+B) mod C =
Two integers a and b
Two integers a and b are congruent modulo m (written as a ≡ b (mod m)) if (a-b) is divisible by m, or equivalently if a mod m = b mod m. This creates
Functions from positive integers to real/complex
Functions from positive integers to real/complex numbers. Key examples: Euler's totient function φ(n) counts numbers ≤ n coprime to n; divisor functio
Mathematical technique to find ratios
Mathematical technique to find ratios for mixing ingredients of different costs to achieve a desired average cost. The rule states that quantities are
Problems involving relative motion where boat
Problems involving relative motion where boat speed in still water and stream speed affect downstream (with current) and upstream (against current) sp
Learning Objectives
