Author: Kazi Abu Rousan The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty. Bertrand Russell Today we will be discussing one of the most fascinating idea of number theory, which is very simple to understand but very complex to get into. Today we will see how to find […]
Problem Let $f$:$\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continous function such that for all$x \in \mathbb{R}$ and all $t\geq 0$ f(x)=f(ktx) where $k>1$ is a fixed constant Hint Case-1 choose any 2 arbitary nos $x,y$ using the functional relationship prove that $f(x)=f(y)$ Case-2 when $x,y$ are of opposite signs then show that $$f(x)=f(\frac{x}{2})=f(\frac{x}{4})\dots$$ use continuity to […]
PROBLEM Let $f (0,\infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continous function such that for all $x \in (0,\infty)$ $f(x)=f(3x)$ Define $g(x)= \int_{x}^{3x} \frac{f(t)}{t}dt$ for $x \in (0,\infty)$ is a constant function HINT Use leibniz rule for differentiation under integral sign SOLUTION using leibniz rule for differentiation under integral sign we get $g'(x)=f(3x)-f(x)$ $\Rightarrow g'(x)=0$ [ Because f(3x)=f(x)] […]
PROBLEM Show that there are exactly $2$ numbers $a$ in the set $\{1,2,3\dots9400\}$ such that $a^2-a$ is divisible by $10000$ HINT Use Modular arithmetic and concepts of coprime numbers SOLUTION we know $10000=2^4*5^4$ In order for $10000$ to divide $a^2-a$ both $2^4$ and $5^4$ must divide $ a^2-a $ Write $a^2-a=a(a-1)$ Note that $a$ and […]
Author: Kazi Abu Rousan $\pi$ is not just a collection of random digits. $\pi$ is a journey; an experience; unless you try to see the natural poetry that exists in $\pi$, you will find it very difficult to learn. Today we will see a python code to find the value of $\pi $ up to […]
Author: Kazi Abu Rousan Pi is not merely the ubiquitous factor in high school geometry problems; it is stitched across the whole tapestry of mathematics, not just geometry’s little corner of it. $\pi$ is truly one of the most fascinating things exist in mathematics. It's not just there in geometry, but it's also there in pendulum, […]
To some extent the beauty of number theory seems to be related to the contradiction between the simplicity of the integers and the complicated structure of the primes, their building blocks. This has always attracted people. A. Knauf from "Number theory, dynamical systems and statistical mechanics" This quote is indeed true. If you just think about the […]
