We see the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and the sieve of Eratosthenes in the decomposition into weight × level + jump of natural numbers. Applied to prime numbers this decomposition leads to a new classification of primes.

Enlightening Symbols: A Short History of Mathematical Notation and Its Hidden Powers by Joseph Mazur, 2024

While all of us regularly use basic math symbols such as those for plus, minus, and equals, few of us know that many of these symbols weren't available before the sixteenth century. What did mathematicians rely on for their work before then? And how did mathematical notations evolve into what we know today?






In Enlightening Symbols, popular math writer Joseph Mazur explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. Traversing mathematical history and the foundations of numerals in different cultures, Mazur looks at how historians have disagreed over the origins of the numerical system for the past two centuries. He follows the transfigurations of algebra from a rhetorical style to a symbolic one, demonstrating that most algebra before the sixteenth century was written in prose or in verse employing the written names of numerals. Mazur also investigates the subconscious and psychological effects that mathematical symbols have had on mathematical thought, moods, meaning, communication, and comprehension. He considers how these symbols influence us, how they lead to new ideas by subconscious associations, how they make connections between experience and the unknown, and how they contribute to the communication of basic mathematics From words to abbreviations to symbols, this entertaining history shows how math evolved to the familiar forms we use today. "An enjoyable read.

Y should I Sine the contract by myself when my X can Cosine and pay the Tan grand on my car loan

Stolen from a friend, who knows who they stole it from. Mnumonic to remember that sin gives the Y coord, cos gives the X coord, of points on the unit circle.

I've tried several sources to find a proof of Bezout's Identity that is clear and simple.

This one is my favourite so far.

(I'm revisiting, before I do an exercise to prove that \[ax \equiv b \pmod n
\] has g=gcd(a,n) incongruent solutions, provided g divides b )

"The considerations, which led up to the construction of the rational domain, were the first steps in a historical process called the arithmetization of mathematics. This movement, which began with Weierstrass [...], had for its object the separation of purely mathematical concepts, such as number and correspondence and aggregate, from intuitional ideas, which mathematics had acquired from long association with geometry and mechanics."–Tobias Dantzig (1884–1956)

This week I want to come back to the "proof" that 0.(9)=1, which I debunked at dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/11. At the time, I said there was insufficient information, because it was unclear whether 1 was meant to be interpreted as the integer 1, or as a limits of accuracy 1. i.e. 1±½. People are taking it as the integer 1, in which case I can now thoroughly debunk that argument with that interpretation...
