Milestones in Mathematics History 20,000 BC Carved notches in wood represent numbers. 3500 BC Numbers based on place value (base 60) used in Sumeria. The Sumerians had no symbol for zero. They used an empty space to represent a zero in the middle of a number but had no way to represent zero on the end of a number. Thus they could distinguish 15 from 105 but could not tell 15 from 150. 2000 BC Mesopotamians solve quadratic equations. 1900 BC Egyptians apply basic geometry to solve practical problems. 1900 BC Pythagorean Theorem a + b = c discovered by Babylonians 1700 BC Babylonians find approximate value of r(2). But don't tell how they did it. 1700 BC A'hmosé (Egyptian) describes methods of mathematical problem solving. One of the earliest "textbooks." 547 BC Thales (Greek) introduces deductive proofs. 520 BC Pythagoras (Greek) founds brotherhood based on mathematics. 500 BC Greeks use abacus, the first mechanical calculating device (probably invented by Babylonians). 460 BC Zeno (Greek) devises paradoxes such as "Achilles and the Tortoise." Achilles and the Tortoise Achilles races a tortoise that has a head start. First, Achilles must run to the point where the tortoise started the race. While he does that, the tortoise moves a little farther. So Achilles must run to where the tortoise is now but again the tortoise moves a little farther. Since this can be repeated indefinitely, Achilles can never catch up to the tortoise.

Homework 5 Due: Friday, October 11 [S]9.1. [S]10.3. [S] 11.2. [S] 11.11. Three farmers divide equally the rice that they have grown. One goes to a market where an 83-pound weight is used, another to a market that uses a 110-pound weight, and the third to a market using a 135-pound weight. Each farmer sells as many full measures as possible, and when the three return home, the first has 32 pounds of ric eleft, the second 70 pounds, and the third 30 pounds. Find the total amount of rice they took to the market. [Ch'in Chiu-Shao, 13th century] Fix points lying equidistant on a circle, and consider all symmetric stars on these points. Such a star is made up of lines connecting the points so that neighboring points have no line between them, and the angle between the two lines meeting at each point is the same for every point. Show that there are such stars. You should read both of the following questions, but only do one of them. You are asked to design a system for numbering TV programs to facilitate the programming of VCRs. Each program should be assigned a single number so that a VCR can determine the day of the week, the starting time, ending time, and the channel of the program. The system should be efficient, that is, use as few numbers as possible, and also be relatively easy to implement on a computer. Assume that there are a maximum of 100 channels, and that programs begin and end in time units that are multiples of 15 minutes.

The course is designed for students interested in i) the history, philosophy and anthropology of science, technology, and medicine; ii) East Asian studies; iii) studies of 'non-Western' cultures. We will also critically assess the conclusions on 'culture' derived from the received historiography on Chinese science, and examine emerging trends in current research. Knowledge of Chinese is not required for the course. COURSE REQUIREMENTS i) Class attendance is mandatory.

Next: The RSA Public key Up: fsqFsHn sGGousG Previous: Modern cryptography Subsections The greatest common divisor and the Euclidean algorithm The Chinese Remainder Theorem Powers modulo n The Euler -function and Euler's Theorem Some Number Theory Most public key systems rely on number-theoretic results. Before we can discuss the implementation of one, we need to quickly go over the necessary background. We have already used a tiny amount of number theory (in our discussion of computing mod p and of the greatest common divisor). Of course, this must be done briefly, and we will only touch on a small part of a large and ancient field the interested reader would do well to consult a text on number theory (e.g. [ NZM Ros ]) for more information. The greatest common divisor and the Euclidean algorithm We have already met the greatest common divisor, or gcd, which is the largest integer which divides both of a pair of numbers. Two numbers are said to be relatively prime if their greatest common divisor is 1. As we have already seen, finding two relatively prime numbers has important applications in many cryptosystems. How can we determine the gcd of two numbers? If the numbers are not too large, just looking at their factors does the trick. For example
