Let $b$ be a numeration base. A $b$-Niven number is one that is divisible by the sum of its base $b$ digits. We introduce high degree $b$-Niven numbers. These are $b$-Niven numbers that have a power greater than $1$ that is $b$-Niven…
We adapt an old local-to-global technique of Ore to compute, under certain mild assumptions, an integral basis of a number field without a previous factorization of the discriminant of the defining polynomial. In a first phase, the method…

According to a popular belief, the decimal digits of mathematical constants such as {\pi} behave like statistically independent random variables, each taking the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with equal probability of 1/10. If…

We describe a simple Monte Carlo method for estimating $\pi$ by tossing a coin. Although the underlying Catalan-number series identities appear implicitly in the probability theory literature, the interpretation of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ presented…
Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…

Understanding the distribution of digits in the expansions of perfect powers in different bases is difficult. Rather than consider the asymptotic digit distributions, we consider the base-10 digits of a restricted sequence of powers of two.…
By using an asymptotic formula known for the numbers of Euler and Bernoulli it is possible to obtain an explicit expression of the nth digit of $\pi$ in decimal or in binary, it also makes it possible to obtain the $n^{\rm th}$ digit of…
