We give a proof of Fermat's little theorem which does not use nor arithmetic(Euclidean algorithm) neither algebra (group theory), but it rather employs the field of the formal power series Q((x)). The note is an example of a mathematical…

Unlike some other formal systems, the proof system Metamath has no built-in concept of "decimal number" in the sense that arbitrary digit strings are not recognized by the system without prior definition. We present a system of theorems and…

The Bertrand theorem concluded that; the Kepler potential, and the isotropic harmonic oscillator potential are the only systems under which all the orbits are closed. It was never stressed enough in the physical or mathematical literature…

The import of Bell's Theorem is elucidated. The theorem's proof is illustrated both heuristically and in mathematical detail in a pedagogical fashion. In the same fashion, it is shown that the proof is correct mathematically, but it doesn't…

Bohr atomic model is based on the assumption that electrons on allowed quantized orbits do not radiate. Its main results include the values of the radii of circular quantized orbits and of the hydrogen atom energy levels. Quantum mechanical…

If the continued fractions of two irrational numbers have a common complete quotient, then these two numbers are in the same orbit under the action of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. The converse is Serret's well-known theorem, but we give a…

Myriad articles are devoted to Mertens's theorem. In yet another, we merely wish to draw attention to a proof by Hardy, which uses a Tauberian theorem of Landau that "leads to the conclusion in a direct and elegant manner". Hardy's proof is…

Bell's theorem is a fundamental result in quantum mechanics: it discriminates between quantum mechanics and all theories where probabilities in measurement results arise from the ignorance of pre-existing local properties. We give an…
