Continued Fractions - Cornell University
pi.math.cornell.eduEvery rational number has a simple continued fraction expansion which is nite and every nite simple continued fraction expansion is a rational number. Proof. Suppose we start with a rational number, then Euclid’s algorithm terminates in nitely many steps. This is because the successive reminders are strictly decreasing as they have to

Divide the drainage area into land uses and assign an appropriate curve number, CN, to each one (see Table 4). The CN is a value between 30 and 98 that characterizes the
4 Number Theory I: Prime Numbers - University of Pennsylvania
www2.math.upenn.edu4 Number Theory I: Prime Numbers Number theory is the mathematical study of the natural numbers, the positive whole numbers such as 2, 17, and 123. Despite their ubiquity and apparent sim-plicity, the natural integers are chock-full of beautiful ideas and open problems. A primary focus of number theory is the study of prime numbers, which can be

Moreover, with the large growth of tax and other legislation, tax evasion and other kinds of white-collar crime have pre-sumably grown much more rapidly than felonies. One piece of ...
Solving Radical Equations - Metropolitan Community College
www.mcckc.eduWhen the index is an even number (n = 2, 4, etc.) this method can introduce extraneous solutions , so it is necessary to verify that any answers obtained actually work. This can be accomplished by plugging the answer(s) back in to the original equation to see if the resulting values satisfy the equation. It is also good
