Mathematical Interest.

Links to things Mathematical I have toyed with.

Last Up date on: 2004 August 10
Recent changes: Added a link here to my notes for a talk about Congruence Arithmetic. Unfortunately, too much is left out to make it understandable with my live explanations and examples.
2004 March 27 change: Added link to my start of "Dosenal" thoughts and probrams.
Early attempt to organize a few of my pages.

Some of the pages are old. The email links at the bottom of pages prior to 2004 are obsolete.

Things I have written:

Description of DOS programs I have written (Command line Executable under Windows) to do arithmetic things you might find interesting or useful.
My explanation of the Euclidian Algorithm and Continued Fractions.
Finding integer solutions for: x² + y² = z²
Description of the Lehmer Chain machine displayed at the Computer History Museum.
My attempts at making a working Chain Machine.

We count in a number system created by the convenience of using our fingers on both hands. But, because ten is not dividable by three there are many examples where, for convenience, we do not use base ten. Most notable examples are: Time, and Angles where the basic unit: a full circle of the planet we live on is broken up into a number of pieces that is divisible by three. Other examples are: the dozen, feet & inches, and keys in an octave.

It is unfortunate that God did not give us another thumb on each hand so we would have had twelve fingers, and counted base twelve instead of ten. Click here for much more on this fantasy subject.
