Arithmetic without Fear *Abridged.
Now why should such things be ? How can we make the rough places plain and the crooked straight, so that all children may enter into their rightful heritage, that fairyland which the realm of number was to Lewis Carroll or A. A. Milne ? The extent of the Arithmetic phobia is not so widespread as it is usually supposed to be. I have repeatedly found that the majority of small children really do ...
متن کاملAbridged Petri Nets
A new graphical framework, Abridged Petri Nets (APNs) is introduced for bottom-up modeling of complex stochastic systems. APNs are similar to Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) in as much as they both rely on component-based representation of system state space, in contrast to Markov chains that explicitly model the states of an entire system. In both frameworks, so-called tokens (denoted as small ci...
متن کاملLogical Induction (Abridged)∗
We present a computable algorithm that assigns probabilities to every logical statement in a given formal language, and refines those probabilities over time. For instance, if the language is Peano arithmetic, it assigns probabilities to all arithmetical statements, including claims about the twin prime conjecture, the outputs of long-running computations, and its own probabilities. We show tha...
متن کاملEfficient long division via Montgomery multiply
We present a novel right-to-left long division algorithm based on the Montgomery modular multiply, consisting of separate highly efficient loops with simple carry structure for computing first the remainder (x mod q) and then the quotient ⌊x/q⌋. These loops are ideally suited for the case where x occupies many more machine words than the divide modulus q, and are strictly linear time in the “bi...
متن کاملRe: On John Snow's unquestioned long division.
Recently, during an epidemiology lecture for undergraduates, one student noticed that there’s a mistake in John Snow’s calculation of the death rate of cholera for the “rest of London” in the 1854 epidemic described in On the Mode of Communication of Cholera (1). The correct rate, derived by dividing 1,422 deaths by 256,423 houses, should be 55 instead of 59 deaths in each of 10,000 houses, as ...
