The Congruent Number Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a famous problem about right triangles with rational side lengths. This elementarysounding problem is still not completely solved; the last remaining step involves the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, which is one of the most important open problems in number theory (right up there with the Riemann hypothesis). 6.

Neuropsychological Decomposing Stroop Interference Into Different Cognitive Monitoring; An Exploratory Factor Analysis
Introduction: There are two alternative explanations of the Stroop phenomenon. Several studies have revealed that the difference in performance on congruent and incongruent trials can arise from response interference. On the contrary, many authors have claimed that Stroop interference might occur at earlier processing stages related to semantic or conceptual encoding. The present study aims to ...
متن کاملRight Triangles with Algebraic Sides and Elliptic Curves over Number Fields
Given any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction of these triangles; for this purpose we find for any positive integer n an explicit cubic number field Q(λ) (depending on n) and an explicit point Pλ of infi...

The problem treated is the evaluation of Pn(a, m)t the probability that a determinant of order n having integral elements be congruent to a modulo m. By "probability" is meant the fraction obtained by dividing the number of favorable cases by the number of possible cases: let each element of the determinant range over the values 1, 2, • • • , m; among the ra" possible determinants let g be the ...

Vocabulary is one of the essential components of language and learning phrasal verbs as part of vocabulary is quite challenging for foreign language learners. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of visual and auditory input enhancement on learning non-congruent phrasal verbs. The participants of the study were 90 intermediate English language learners who were divided into two ...
