  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation. [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9.

  3. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations . Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine. [ 1] See big O notation for an explanation of the notation used. Note: Due to the variety of multiplication algorithms, below ...

  4. Multiplicative function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function

    Multiplicative function. In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f ( n) of a positive integer n with the property that f (1) = 1 and whenever a and b are coprime . An arithmetic function f ( n) is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if f (1) = 1 and f ( ab) = f ( a) f ( b) holds for all ...

  5. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    Fixed-point arithmetic. In computing, fixed-point is a method of representing fractional (non-integer) numbers by storing a fixed number of digits of their fractional part. Dollar amounts, for example, are often stored with exactly two fractional digits, representing the cents (1/100 of dollar). More generally, the term may refer to ...

  6. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    In mathematics, the degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer. For a univariate polynomial, the degree of the polynomial is simply the ...

  7. Ordinal arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_arithmetic

    The ordinal 1 is a multiplicative identity, α· 1 = 1 · α= α. Multiplication is associative, (α· β) · γ= α· (β· γ). Multiplication is strictly increasing and continuous in the right argument: (α< βand γ> 0) → γ·α< γ·β. Multiplication is notstrictly increasing in the left argument, for example, 1 < 2 but 1 · ω= 2 · ω ...

  8. Montgomery modular multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_modular...

    For example, to multiply 7 and 15 modulo 17 in Montgomery form, again with R = 100, compute the product of 3 and 4 to get 12 as above. The extended Euclidean algorithm implies that 8⋅100 − 47⋅17 = 1, so R′ = 8. Multiply 12 by 8 to get 96 and reduce modulo 17 to get 11. This is the Montgomery form of 3, as expected.

  9. Napier's bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier's_bones

    (For example, the sixth row is read as: 0 ⁄ 6 1 ⁄ 2 3 ⁄ 6 → 756). Like in multiplication shown before, the numbers are read from right to left and add the diagonal numbers from top-right to left-bottom (6 + 0 = 6; 3 + 2 = 5; 1 + 6 = 7). The largest number less than the current remainder, 1078 (from the eighth row), is found.
