In the integers, a prime number is one which has no proper factors (i.e. besides +/- 1 and +/- itself). The Gaussian integers are the complex numbers a+bi where a and b are integers. These integers ...

In this paper we suggest the use of the inverse Gaussian distribution for a model of such lifetime behavior and discuss different reliability features of the distribution. It is shown that its failure ...

This course will provide students with a grounding in the study of number theory. Topics include: quadratic reciprocity, Gaussian integers and Fermat’s two square theorem, quadratic integers, Hurwitz ...

It’s said that the three year old Gauss started double-checking his father’s figures—in his head, of course—and saved him from making many-a-bookkeeping blunder. Within a few years, he was ...
