Log tables, invaluable in science, industry and commerce for 350 years, have been consigned to the scrap heap. But logarithms remain at the core of science, as a wide range of physical phenomena ...

The Math Readiness Test covers the topics of algebra, analytic geometry, trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, and more. We recommend working through the exercises in these resources: Another option ...

You may find this hard to believe, but there are people still alive today who once did their mathematical calculations by sliding sticks back and forth. No keypads, no batteries, no LEDs. Just sticks.

In this article, we examine how the index calculus approach for computing discrete logarithms in small genus hyperelliptic curves can be improved by introducing a double large prime variation. Two ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...
