How to Show That Various Numbers Either Can Or Cannot Be Constructed Using Only a Straightedge and Compass
How to show that various numbers either can or cannot be constructed using only a straightedge and compass Nick Janetos June 3, 2010 1 Introduction It has been found that a circular area is to the square on a line equal to the quadrant of the circumference, as the area of an equilateral rectangle is to the square on one side... -Indiana House Bill No. 246, 1897 Three problems of classical Greek geometry are to do the following using only a compass and a straightedge: 1. To "square the circle": Given a circle, to construct a square of the same area, 2. To "trisect an angle": Given an angle, to construct another angle 1/3 of the original angle, 3. To "double the cube": Given a cube, to construct a cube with twice the area. Unfortunately, it is not possible to complete any of these tasks until additional tools (such as a marked ruler) are provided. In section 2 we will examine the process of constructing numbers using a compass and straightedge. We will then express constructions in algebraic terms. In section 3 we will derive several results about transcendental numbers. There are two goals: One, to show that the numbers e and π are transcendental, and two, to show that the three classical geometry problems are unsolvable. The two goals, of course, will turn out to be related. 2 Constructions in the plane The discussion in this section comes from [8], with some parts expanded and others removed. The classical Greeks were clear on what constitutes a construction. Given some set of points, new points can be defined at the intersection of lines with other lines, or lines with circles, or circles with circles. -

Operations with Complex Numbers Adding & Subtracting: Combine Like Terms (풂 + 풃풊) + (풄 + 풅풊) = (풂 + 풄) + (풃 + 풅)풊 Examples: 1
Name: __________________________________________________________ Date: _________________________ Period: _________ Chapter 2: Polynomial and Rational Functions Topic 1: Complex Numbers What is an imaginary number? What is a complex number? The imaginary unit is defined as 풊 = √−ퟏ A complex number is defined as the set of all numbers in the form of 푎 + 푏푖, where 푎 is the real component and 푏 is the coefficient of the imaginary component. An imaginary number is when the real component (푎) is zero. Checkpoint: Since 풊 = √−ퟏ Then 풊ퟐ = Operations with Complex Numbers Adding & Subtracting: Combine like terms (풂 + 풃풊) + (풄 + 풅풊) = (풂 + 풄) + (풃 + 풅)풊 Examples: 1. (5 − 11푖) + (7 + 4푖) 2. (−5 + 7푖) − (−11 − 6푖) 3. (5 − 2푖) + (3 + 3푖) 4. (2 + 6푖) − (12 − 4푖) Multiplying: Just like polynomials, use the distributive property. Then, combine like terms and simplify powers of 푖. Remember! Multiplication does not require like terms. Every term gets distributed to every term. Examples: 1. 4푖(3 − 5푖) 2. (7 − 3푖)(−2 − 5푖) 3. 7푖(2 − 9푖) 4. (5 + 4푖)(6 − 7푖) 5. (3 + 5푖)(3 − 5푖) A note about conjugates: Recall that when multiplying conjugates, the middle terms will cancel out. With complex numbers, this becomes even simpler: (풂 + 풃풊)(풂 − 풃풊) = 풂ퟐ + 풃ퟐ Try again with the shortcut: (3 + 5푖)(3 − 5푖) Dividing: Just like polynomials and rational expressions, the denominator must be a rational number. Since complex numbers include imaginary components, these are not rational numbers. To remove a complex number from the denominator, we multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the Remember! You can simplify first IF factors can be canceled. -
Residue Arithmetic in Digital Computers

BEING A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE IVIARCl-i I979 SUIq¡4ARY The number systems used have great impact on the speed of a computer, At present at least 4 number systems (binary, negabinary, ternary and residue) are in use either for general purposes or for special purposes. The calîry plîopagation delay which j-s inherent to all weighted systems (binary, negabi-nary and ternary) is a limiting factor on the speed of computations. tlnlike the weighted system, the residue system is carry free which is the m¿rln attractj-ve feature of this system and therefore its potentiality in a general purpose computer, in the light of present day tech- nology, has been investigated. As the background of the investigation the binary and negabinary arithmetic have been thoroughly studied. A ne',r method for fractional negabinary division, and a correction on negabinary multiplì-cation have been proposed. It has been observed that the binary arithmetic operations are fas- ter thair thcse ir. negabinary syslem. The residue system has got. problems too. The sign detectj-on, operations j-nvolving sign detection (comparison, overflow detection, division) and the resj-due-to--decimal- con- version are difficult. Moreover, the residue systemT being an i.nteger: systetn, makes floati-ng poinc arithmetic operatlcns very difficult. The def:ails of the existing algorithms,/ methods to solve those problems have been thoroughly inves- tigated and drawbacks of those algoritlrms/methods have been di scussed. -
Theory of Trigintaduonion Emanation and Origins of Α and Π
Theory of Trigintaduonion Emanation and Origins of and Stephen Winters-Hilt Meta Logos Systems Aurora, Colorado Abstract In this paper a specific form of maximal information propagation is explored, from which the origins of , , and fractal reality are revealed. Introduction The new unification approach described here gives a precise derivation for the mysterious physics constant (the fine-structure constant) from the mathematical physics formalism providing maximal information propagation, with being the maximal perturbation amount. Furthermore, the new unification provides that the structure of the space of initial ‘propagation’ (with initial propagation being referred to as ‘emanation’) has a precise derivation, with a unit-norm perturbative limit that leads to an iterative-map-like computed (a limit that is precisely related to the Feigenbaum bifurcation constant and thus fractal). The computed can also, by a maximal information propagation argument, provide a derivation for the mathematical constant . The ideal constructs of planar geometry, and related such via complex analysis, give methods for calculation of to incredibly high precision (trillions of digits), thereby providing an indirect derivation of to similar precision. Propagation in 10 dimensions (chiral, fermionic) and 26 dimensions (bosonic) is indicated [1-3], in agreement with string theory. Furthermore a preliminary result showing a relation between the Feigenbaum bifurcation constant and , consistent with the hypercomplex algebras indicated in the Emanator Theory, suggest an individual object trajectory with 36=10+26 degrees of freedom (indicative of heterotic strings). The overall (any/all chirality) propagation degrees of freedom, 78, are also in agreement with the number of generators in string gauge symmetries [4]. -
Truly Hypercomplex Numbers
TRULY HYPERCOMPLEX NUMBERS: UNIFICATION OF NUMBERS AND VECTORS Redouane BOUHENNACHE (pronounce Redwan Boohennash) Independent Exploration Geophysical Engineer / Geophysicist 14, rue du 1er Novembre, Beni-Guecha Centre, 43019 Wilaya de Mila, Algeria E-mail: [email protected] First written: 21 July 2014 Revised: 17 May 2015 Abstract Since the beginning of the quest of hypercomplex numbers in the late eighteenth century, many hypercomplex number systems have been proposed but none of them succeeded in extending the concept of complex numbers to higher dimensions. This paper provides a definitive solution to this problem by defining the truly hypercomplex numbers of dimension N ≥ 3. The secret lies in the definition of the multiplicative law and its properties. This law is based on spherical and hyperspherical coordinates. These numbers which I call spherical and hyperspherical hypercomplex numbers define Abelian groups over addition and multiplication. Nevertheless, the multiplicative law generally does not distribute over addition, thus the set of these numbers equipped with addition and multiplication does not form a mathematical field. However, such numbers are expected to have a tremendous utility in mathematics and in science in general.

Chapter I, the Real and Complex Number Systems
CHAPTER I THE REAL AND COMPLEX NUMBERS DEFINITION OF THE NUMBERS 1, i; AND p2 In order to make precise sense out of the concepts we study in mathematical analysis, we must first come to terms with what the \real numbers" are. Everything in mathematical analysis is based on these numbers, and their very definition and existence is quite deep. We will, in fact, not attempt to demonstrate (prove) the existence of the real numbers in the body of this text, but will content ourselves with a careful delineation of their properties, referring the interested reader to an appendix for the existence and uniqueness proofs. Although people may always have had an intuitive idea of what these real num- bers were, it was not until the nineteenth century that mathematically precise definitions were given. The history of how mathematicians came to realize the necessity for such precision in their definitions is fascinating from a philosophical point of view as much as from a mathematical one. However, we will not pursue the philosophical aspects of the subject in this book, but will be content to con- centrate our attention just on the mathematical facts. These precise definitions are quite complicated, but the powerful possibilities within mathematical analysis rely heavily on this precision, so we must pursue them. Toward our primary goals, we will in this chapter give definitions of the symbols (numbers) 1; i; and p2: − The main points of this chapter are the following: (1) The notions of least upper bound (supremum) and greatest lower bound (infimum) of a set of numbers, (2) The definition of the real numbers R; (3) the formula for the sum of a geometric progression (Theorem 1.9), (4) the Binomial Theorem (Theorem 1.10), and (5) the triangle inequality for complex numbers (Theorem 1.15). -
Appendix: the Cost of Computing: Big-O and Recursion
Appendix: The Cost of Computing: Big-O and Recursion Big-O otation In the previous section we have seen a chart comparing execution times for various sorting algorithms. The chart, however, did not show any absolute numbers to tell us the actual time it took, say, to sort an array of 10,000 double numbers using the insertion sort algorithm. That is because the actual time depends, among other things, on the processor of the machine the program is running on, not only on the algorithm used. For example, the worst possible sorting algorithm executing on a Pentium II 450 MHz chip may finish a lot quicker in some situations than the best possible sorting algorithm running on an old Intel 386 chip. Even when two algorithms execute on the same machine, other processes that are running on the system can considerably skew the results one way or another. Therefore, execution time is not really an adequate measurement of the "goodness" of an algorithm. We need a more mathematical way to determine how good an algorithm is, and which of two algorithms is better. In this section, we will introduce the "big-O" notation, which does provide just that: a mathematical description that allows you to rate an algorithm. The Math behind Big-O There is a little background mathematics required to work with this concept, but it is not much, and you should quickly understand the major concepts involved. The most important concept you may need to review is that of the limit of a function. Definition: Limit of a Function We say that a function f converges to a limit L as x approaches a number c if f(x) gets closer and closer to L if x gets closer and closer to c, and we use the notation lim f (x) = L x→c Similarly, a function f converges to a limit L as x approaches positive (negative) infinity if f(x) gets closer and closer to L as x is positive (negative) and gets bigger (smaller) and bigger (smaller). -

3958 Weird Numbers
3958 Weird Numbers Binary numbers form the principal basis of computer science. Most of you have heard of other systems, such as ternary, octal, or hexadecimal. You probably know how to use these systems and how to convert numbers between them. But did you know that the system base (radix) could also be negative? One assistant professor at the Czech Technical University has recently met negabinary numbers and other systems with a negative base. Will you help him to convert numbers to and from these systems? A number N written in the system with a positive base R will always appear as a string of digits between 0 and R − 1, inclusive. A digit at the position P (positions are counted from right to left and starting with zero) represents a value of RP . This means the value of the digit is multiplied by RP and values of all positions are summed together. For example, if we use the octal system (radix R = 8), a number written as 17024 has the following value: 1 ∗ 84 + 7 ∗ 83 + 0 ∗ 82 + 2 ∗ 81 + 4 ∗ 80 = 1 ∗ 4096 + 7 ∗ 512 + 2 ∗ 8 + 4 ∗ 1 = 7700 With a negative radix −R, the principle remains the same: each digit will have a value of (−R)P . For example, a negaoctal (radix R = −8) number 17024 counts as: 1 ∗ (−8)4 + 7 ∗ (−8)3 + 0 ∗ (−8)2 + 2 ∗ (−8)1 + 4 ∗ (−8)0 = 1 ∗ 4096 − 7 ∗ 512 − 2 ∗ 8 + 4 ∗ 1 = 500 One big advantage of systems with a negative base is that we do not need a minus sign to express negative numbers. -
