2. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

   For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

   Division is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic. The other operations are addition, subtraction, and multiplication. What is being divided is called the dividend, which is divided by the divisor, and the result is called the quotient. At an elementary level the division of two natural numbers is, among other possible interpretations ...

4. Rhind Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhind_Mathematical_Papyrus

   Problems 1–6 compute divisions of a certain number of loaves of bread by 10 men and record the outcome in unit fractions. Problems 7–20 show how to multiply the expressions 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 7/4, and 1 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 2 by different fractions. Problems 21–23 are problems in completion, which in modern notation are simply subtraction problems.

5. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

   The tree is at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point[ 1] or a crash point. [ 2] The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. [ 3] The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced ...

6. Tower of Hanoi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi

   The Tower of Hanoi (also called The problem of Benares Temple[ 1] or Tower of Brahma or Lucas' Tower[ 2] and sometimes pluralized as Towers, or simply pyramid puzzle[ 3]) is a mathematical game or puzzle consisting of three rods and a number of disks of various diameters, which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle begins with the disks stacked on ...

7. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

   Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the value coming from integration by the rectangle rule with step 2h. The accuracy is governed by the second (2h step) term.
