Carmichael's theorem

In number theory, Carmichael's theorem, named after the American mathematician R.D. Carmichael,states that, for any nondegenerate Lucas sequence of the first kind Un(P,Q) with relatively prime parameters P, Q and positive discriminant, an element Un with n ≠ 1, 2, 6 has at least one prime divisor that does not divide any earlier one except the 12th Fibonacci number F(12)=U12(1, -1)=144 and its equivalent U12(-1, -1)=-144. In particular, for n greater than 12, the nth Fibonacci number F(n) has at least one prime divisor that does not divide any earlier Fibonacci number. Carmichael (1913, Theorem 21) proved this theorem. Recently, Yabuta (2001) gave a simple proof. (Wikipedia).

The High Schooler Who Solved a Prime Number Theorem

In his senior year of high school, Daniel Larsen proved a key theorem about Carmichael numbers — strange entities that mimic the primes. “It would be a paper that any mathematician would be really proud to have written,” said one mathematician. Read more at Quanta Magazine: https://www.qua

Theory of numbers: Prime tests

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe how to use Fermat's theorem as a test to see if numbers n are not prime, by checking to see if a^n=a mod n for various numbers a. We then given an example of a "Carmichael number": a composite num

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim

The Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff and Dynkin formula and its finite nature

In this video explain, implement and numerically validate all the nice formulas popping up from math behind the theorem of Campbell, Baker, Hausdorff and Dynkin, usually a.k.a. Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. Here's the TeX and python code: https://gist.github.com/Nikolaj-K/8e9a345e4c932

Wilson's Theorem ← Number Theory

A proof of Wilson's Theorem, a basic result from elementary number theory. The theorem can be strengthened into an iff result, thereby giving a test for primality. (Though in practice there are far more efficient tests.) Subject: Elementary Number Theory Teacher: Michael Harrison Artist

Fermat’s HUGE little theorem, pseudoprimes and Futurama

A LOT of people have heard about Andrew Wiles solving Fermat's last theorem after people trying in vain for over 350 years. Today's video is about Fermat's LITTLE theorem which is at least as pretty as its much more famous bigger brother, which has a super pretty accessible proof and which
