We complete a proof of a theorem that was inspired by an Indian Olympiad problem, which gives an interesting characterization of a prime number $p$ with respect to the binomial coefficients ${n\choose p}$. We also derive a related result…

In this short note we prove a result that is an extension of an old Olympiad problem and is a very simple variant of the question of finding an approximation for $k$, where it is a nonzero constant and it satisfies the equation $a^k+b^k=c$,…

To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…

This paper is a supplement to a talk for mathematics teachers given at the 2016 LSU Mathematics Contest for High School Students. The paper covers more details and aspects than could be covered in the talk. We start with an interesting…

We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula…

A very simple but useful almost sure convergence theorem of probability is given.

In this article, we discuss whether a single congruent number $t$ can have two (or more) distinct triangles with the same hypotenuse. We also describe and carry out computational experimentation providing evidence that this does not occur.

We provide elementary proof of several congruences involving single sum and multisums of binomial coefficients.

We discuss a problem initially thought for the Mathematical Olympiad but which has several interpretations. The recurrence sequences involved in this problem may be generalized to recurrence sequences related to a much larger set of…

We give a new short proof of the most simple relation between consecutive power sums of the first m positive integers.

This paper presents three results on F-singularities. First, we give a new proof of Eisenstein's restriction theorem for adjoint ideal sheaves, using the theory of F-singularities. Second, we show that a conjecture of Musta\c{t}\u{a} and…

One source of beauty in mathematics is totally unexpected connections between two fundamentally different objects. For instance, is it not surprising that the time period of a real simple pendulum is linked with a function arising out of…

We present a, hopefully, elementary mathematical treatment of the computational aspects of congruent numbers, such that an amateur could understand the problem and perform their own calculations.

In this paper, we mainly establish a congruence for a sum involving Ap\'{e}ry numbers, which was conjectured by Z.-W. Sun. Namely, for any prime $p>3$ and positive odd integer $m$, we prove that there is a $p$-adic integer $c_m$ only…

The aim of this expository article is twofold. The first is to introduce several polynomials of one variable as well as two variables defined on the positive integers with values as congruent numbers. The second is to present connections…

Let n be a positive odd integer and let p>n+1 be a prime. We mainly derive the following congruence: $$\sum_{0<i_1<...<i_n<p}(i_1/3)(-1)^{i_1}/(i_1...i_n)=0 (mod p).$$

In this short paper we will show, via elementary arguments, the equivalence of the Twin Prime Conjecture to a problem which might be simpler to prove. Some conclusions are drawn, and it is shown that proving the Twin Prime Conjecture is…

In this article, we derive a congruence property of particular sum rules involving prime numbers. The resulting expression involves Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, for which we obtain, as a consequence, a general congruence relation as…

We consider the rooted trees which not have isomorphic representation and introduce a conception of complexity a natural number also. The connection between quantity such trees with $n$ edges and a complexity of natural number $n$ is…

We prove some symmetric $q$-congruences.
