    Find Number of Generators in Z_(p^r)

    Well, the generators are those which are relatively prime to p^r.

    Find Number of Generators in Z_(p^r)

    Let p be a prime number. Find the number of generators of the cyclic group Z_(p^r), where r is an integer >=1. A small hint, please?

    Other Should I Become a Mathematician?

    Well, I'm currently in my 11th year of school, and has two more years to go before starting at a university, so I'm expecting to start when I'm 18-19. In Norway there are 10 years of compulsory education, and then three years at an upper secondary school, if you want to. On the German students...

    Other Should I Become a Mathematician?

    Have anyone studied at Cambridge here? I'm planning to study mathematics there, and therefore I'd like to hear what students or former students of mathematics has to say about it. Positive and negatives, was it/is it challenging enough, environment, etc. I'm currently at my first year in upper...

    Help - energy of a photon :-/

    You have the wavelenght, then you can calculate the frequency. After that you calculate the energy of the photons of each series. Then "translate" the energy into electron volts.

    Electrical Force and Coulomb's Law

    2e= 2*1.6e-19=3.2e-19 C 79e=79*1.6e-19=1.264e-17 C Just use Coulomb`s law.

    Calculating the Mass of Orbiting Stars: A Problem-Solving Approach

    The answer was in the back of the book, and I got 4.2e30 kg, which, according to the book, is correct.

    Calculating the Mass of Orbiting Stars: A Problem-Solving Approach

    d=vt d=80000 m/s*864000 s d=6.912e10 m d=2pi*r d/2pi=r r=6.912e10 m/2pi r=1.1e10 m yMm/r^2=m4pi^2r/t^2 M=4pi^2r^3/yt^2 M=(4pi^2*1.1e10m^3)/(6.67e-11*864000^2 s) M=1.05e30 kg g=yM/r^2 g=(6.67e-11*1.05e30 kg)/1.1e10^2 m g=0.58 N

    Calculating the Mass of Orbiting Stars: A Problem-Solving Approach

    Can anybody help me whit this? "Two stars which have the same mass are orbiting an object between the two stars. The velocity of the stars is 80 km/s and the time used on one orbit is 864000 s. Find the mass of the two stars." This is what I have done so far: r(radius)=1.1e10 m...
