Application interviews are comming up and it is always good to prepare for the question: "What is the most important discovery in mathematics (in modern time?), according to your oppinion?"
Is it the RSA-algorithm? Gödels Incompleteness theorem? The proof of Fermat's last theorem?
What do...
Yes, he is really doing his Ib Hl Maths-portfolio!
I solved it in this way:
1. find the general solutions to the second derivative of the quartic.
2.using the factor theorem, divide the original quartic with (x-root 1 of second derivative) and (x-root 2 of second derivative), you can use...
If you want to decode it without knowing the keys you will factorise pq since it is public (p-1)(q-1) is not public.
I'm in the Ib diploma program and I'm thinking of writing an extended essey about RSA. Do you have any tips?

Yes it is about clustering...
You have an area, A, in which you have a number of points, n. For every point you measure the distance to its nearest neighbour. Then you calculate the mean nearest neighbour distance, d.
Then you use the formula NNI=2d*square-root(n/A)
Values for NNI close to 0...
Hi!
Does anyone know how the mathematics behind the Nearest Neighbour Analysis/Index work?
It is used in biology and geography and shows the dispersion of for example plants or shoe-shops.

Hi!
In a geometric progression you can find the sum to infinety is some series, for example 4,2,1,... where the common factor is 1/2. The sum to infinety will then be, 8, it says in my book, but I can only think of it as very, very close to 8, not eight exactly. How is it? Is the sum to...
Hello!
While conducting chi square -tests I asked my teacher what the "square" means, and why it was there? Why chi squared, and not just chi?
He couldn't give an answer so he told me to find out, as a homework :surprise: ... After a quarter of "Googeling" I gave up.
So, is there anyone out...
