Properties Enjoyed By The Highest Digit In A Base Other Than The Base 10, Sudhir Goel, Kathy Simons Jun 2017

Properties Enjoyed By The Highest Digit In A Base Other Than The Base 10, Sudhir Goel, Kathy Simons

Georgia Journal of Science

The number nine in base ten enjoys some nice arithmetic properties. In this paper, we show that these properties are not intrinsic to the number nine; in fact, they are true for the largest digit in any base b. Four properties involving the final sums of all the digits of a number in a non-decimal base are explored and proofs of these properties are given in the appendix.


Problem Book On Higher Algebra And Number Theory, Ryanto Putra May 2017

Problem Book On Higher Algebra And Number Theory, Ryanto Putra

Theses and Dissertations

This book is an attempt to provide relevant end-of-section exercises, together with their step-by-step solutions, to Dr. Zieschang's classic class notes Higher Algebra and Number Theory. It's written under the notion that active hands-on working on exercises is an important part of learning, whereby students would see the nuance and intricacies of a math concepts which they may miss from passive reading. The problems are selected here to provide background on the text, examples that illuminate the underlying theorems, as well as to fill in the gaps in the notes.

We put the problem to determine the sets of integers in base b ≥ 2 that generate primes with using a function.


On P-Adic Fields And P-Groups, Luis A. Sordo Vieira Jan 2017

On P-Adic Fields And P-Groups, Luis A. Sordo Vieira

Theses and Dissertations--Mathematics

The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part mainly treats a conjecture of Emil Artin from the 1930s. Namely, if f = a_1x_1^d + a_2x_2^d +...+ a_{d^2+1}x^d where the coefficients a_i lie in a finite unramified extension of a rational p-adic field, where p is an odd prime, then f is isotropic. We also deal with systems of quadratic forms over finite fields and study the isotropicity of the system relative to the number of variables. We also study a variant of the classical Davenport constant of finite abelian groups and relate it to the isotropicity of diagonal …
