Topics in Numbers, Quantification and Numerical Applications

1

Modular Arithmetic

  • Modular arithmetic deals with remainders when integers are divided by a fixed positive integer
  • X mod Y = R means X = Y × Q + R where 0 ≤ R < Y
  • Properties: (A+B) mod C = (A mod C + B mod C) mod C
2

Simple Arithmetic Functions

  • Arithmetic functions map positive integers to real or complex numbers
  • Euler's totient function φ(n) counts numbers coprime to n
  • Divisor function τ(n) counts positive divisors of n
3

Alligation and Mixture

  • Alligation finds ratio for mixing ingredients at different prices
  • Mean price is the cost per unit of the final mixture
  • Rule: Ratio = (Higher price - Mean price) : (Mean price - Lower price)
4

Boats and Streams

  • Downstream speed = Boat speed + Stream speed
  • Upstream speed = Boat speed - Stream speed
  • Boat speed = (Downstream + Upstream)/2
