Nimber Arithmetic : A deeper dive in Nim

Explore Nimber Arithmetic in Game theory and always win a game. Nimbers have two particular operations. nim-addition and nim-multiplication. the nimbers are know as Grundy Numbers. Explore applications in the Game of Nim and odd Knight of the round table problem.

game theory

Exploring The Game of Nim

Nim is a mathematical game of strategy in which two players take turns removing objects from distinct heaps. The key to the theory of the game is the binary digital sum of the heap sizes "exclusive or" (xor). It is called the nim-sum. Find implementations of winning strategy and applications

mathematical algorithm

Bell Numbers: Number of partitions of a set

Bell numbers are a sequence of numbers that describe the number of ways a set with N elements can be partitioned into disjoint, non-empty subsets. Dobinski's Formula Satifaction Sum of Sterling's number of second kind, The Peirce Triangle Method. First few Bell numbers are 1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 203

Catalan Numbers

Catalan Numbers are one of the widest used and evident number patterns. They are named after the Belgian mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan. A sequence of natural numbers that occur in various counting problems. The Catalan numbers are: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, 429, 1430, 4862, 16796, 58786,

greatest common divisor

Euclidean Algorithm to Calculate Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 2 numbers

The Euclid's algorithm (or Euclidean Algorithm) is a method for efficiently finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers. The GCD of two integers X and Y is the largest integer that divides both of X and Y (without leaving a remainder).

sieve theory

The Sieve of Eratosthenes

Sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple and ancient algorithm (over 2200 years old) used to find the prime numbers up to any given limit. It is one of the most efficient ways to find small prime numbers. Implementations in C, C++, C Sharp, Java, Go, Haskell, JavaScript, PHP and Python.
