... I discovered this while playing with my calculator aged 14. and it's even easier with logs to base 10 (which I had memorised) if the root is an adjusted...
This is related to my last post involving centroids. I found that the geometric construction of the centroid of n points in a plane involves the prime factors...
Hi Casting out is used in following example . I found it works only with 19 . any opinion? 1x19=19 1x19=1+0 19=1/1 19=1 1+9=1 10=1 1+0=1 1=1 2x19=38 2x19=3+8 ...

Suppose you have a polynomial p(x)=sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i, the polynomial multiplied by itself is [p(x)]^2=sum_{i=0}^2n b_i x^i where b_i=sum_ {j=0}^i a_j...
