In most introductory numerical analysis textbooks, the treatment of a single nonlinear equation often consists of a collection of all-purpose methods that frequently do not work or are inefficient. These textbooks neglect to teach the…

Computational tools in numerical algebraic geometry can be used to numerically approximate solutions to a system of polynomial equations. If the system is well-constrained (i.e., square), Newton's method is locally quadratically convergent…

Ordinary binary multiplication of natural numbers can be generalized in a non-trivial way to a ternary operation by considering discrete volumes of lattice hexagons. With this operation, a natural notion of `3-primality' -- primality with…

Suppose $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_{n+2}\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ has cardinality $n+2$, with all the coordinates of the $a_j$ having absolute value at most $d$, and the $a_j$ do not all lie in the same affine hyperplane. Suppose $F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$…

The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…

These notes begin in Chapter 1 with a review of linear algebra and the postulates of quantum mechanics, leading to an explanation of single- and multi-qubit gates. Chapter 2 explores the challenge of constructing arbitrary quantum states…

Different questions lead to the same class of functions from natural integers to integers: those which have integral difference ratios, i.e. verifying $f(a)-f(b)\equiv0 \pmod {(a-b)}$ for all $a>b$. We characterize this class of functions…

In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…

In this paper, we modify the Newton-Secant method with third order of convergence for finding multiple roots of nonlinear equations. Per iteration this method requires two evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first…

Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…
