๐Ÿ“ Division Property For any natural numbers $a$ and $b$, we can write $a = qb + r$, where $0 \\leq r < b$. Proof: Consider the set of non-negative remainders $\\{a - qb : q \\in \\mathbb{Z}, a - qb \\geq 0\\}$. This set is non-empty (take $q = 0$) and bounded below by $0$. By the well-ordering principle, there exists a smallest such remainder $r = a - qb$. If $r \\geq b$, then $a - (q+1)b = r - b \\geq... From: numbers-geometry Learn more: Explore all courses:

๐Ÿ“– Commitment Scheme A cryptographic method that allows you to "commit" to a value without revealing it. Later, you can "open" the commitment to prove what value you committed to. From: branta Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ’ก Proposition V.6 If two magnitudes be equimultiples of two magnitudes, and any magnitudes subtracted from them be equimultiples of the same, the remainders also are either equal to the same or equimultiples of them. From: Euclid's Elements Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐ŸŽฏ Element Order Divides Group Order The order of any element $a \\in G$ divides $|G|$. Proof: Since $|a| = |\\langle a \\rangle|$ and $\\langle a \\rangle \\le G$, by Lagrange\'s Theorem, $|a|$ divides $|G|$. From: df-course Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ“ Uniqueness of Negatives In any linear space every element has exactly one negative. That is, for every $x$ there is one and only one $y$ such that $x + y = 0$. Proof: Axiom 6 tells us that each $x$ has at least one negative, namely $(-1)x$. Suppose $x$ has two negatives, say $y_1$ and $y_2$. Then $x + y_1 = 0$ and $x + y_2 = 0$. Adding $y_2$ to both members of the first equation: $y_2 + (x + y_1) = (y_2 + x) + y_1 = 0 + y_1 = y_1$ and $y_2 + (x + y_1) = y_2 + ... From: calc2-course Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ’ก Proposition VII.30 (Euclid If two numbers by multiplying one another make some number, and any prime number measure the product, it will also measure one of the original numbers. From: Euclid's Elements Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ“– Definite Integral A definite integral has specific limits ($a$ and $b$) and gives a specific numerical answer. It represents the area under a curve: Area $= \\int_a^b f(x) \\, dx$. From: Beginner Calculus Learn more: Explore all courses:

๐Ÿ“– Definition 2.15 (Metric Space) A **metric space** is a set $X$ with a function $d: X \\times X \\to [0, \\infty)$ such that: (a) $d(p,q) = 0 \\Leftrightarrow p = q$. (b) $d(p,q) = d(q,p)$. (c) $d(p,q) \\leq d(p,r) + d(r,q)$ (triangle inequality). From: rudin-course Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ“ Inscribed Angle Theorem An inscribed angle is half the central angle subtending the same arc: $\\theta_{\\text{inscribed}} = \\frac{1}{2}\\theta_{\\text{central}}$. Proof: Case 1: One side of inscribed angle passes through center $O$. Let inscribed angle be $\\angle BAC$ with $A$ on circle, $O$ on $AC$. Triangle $OAB$ is isosceles ($OA = OB$ = radius). Let $\\angle OAB = \\angle OBA = \\alpha$. External angle $\\angle BOC = 2\\alpha$ (central angle). So i... From: Numbers and Geometry Learn more: Explore all courses:
๐Ÿ“– Definition 2.1 (Countable Set) A set $A$ is **countable** if there is a bijection between $A$ and a subset of $\\mathbb{N}$. A set is **at most countable** if it is finite or countable. An **uncountable** set is an infinite set that is not countable. From: rudin-course Learn more: Explore all courses:
