A numerical issue causes an incorrect conclusion, implying that compounding interest more often results in less interest. How to fix it.

Financial calculations involve implicit assumptions that go out the window under hyperinflation.

Visualizing matrix transposition, to make sense of transpose-related formulas. The post Understanding Matrices | Part 3: Matrix Transpose appeared first on Towards Data Science. Generated by RSStT.…

Using knowledge graphs to handle the unexpected in semantic communication

Two uses of bracket notation: actuarial symbols related to annuities and an obsolete notation for factorial

Numbers like binomial coefficients satisfy identities like Pascal's triangle.

Present value approximation that implicitly assumes moderate interest rates gives absurd results when applied at high interest rates.

Exploring the elliptic curve used in Monero for digital signatures. Making explicit some things that are often left implicit.

The elliptic curves Ed25519 and Curve25519 are both used in cryptography, and are equivalent in one sense and not in another.

Moessner's Magic is a generalization of an ancient theorem that wasn't discovered until 1951.

Bounds on the frequencies of a vibrating membrane, provided its shape can tile the plane.

You can find three primitive Pythagorean triangles with the same area, but what about four?

Given three mutually tangent circles, there is an elegant theorem for finding two more circles tangent to all three.

Several elliptic curves which Zcash uses in zero knowledge proofs are named after characters from Lewis Carroll: Jubjub, Bandersnatch, Tweddledee, Tweedledum

Two elliptic curves used in Zcash for zero-knowledge proofs, one named after a Greek goddess of war and one after a Roman goddess of home and hearth

Cycles of ellptic curves have the property that the number of points on one curve equals the field size of the next curve.

Testing the time to factor big integers in Python with SymPy compared to Matheamtica

We often want to reduce something that's inherently two-dimensional into something one-dimensional. We want to turn graph into a list. And we'd like to do this with some kind of faithfulness. We'd like things that are close together in 2D space to be close…
