... In § 1, we prove, using parity arguments, that L* has no fixed points. Fixed points of iterates of L* arise in sets where the number of elements in the set is equal to the power of/.* in question. In each such set there is at least one natural number n such that L*(n) > n. In § 2, we consider condit ...

A Plan for Problem Solving
... Sequences (pages 34–36) A sequence of numbers is a list in a specific order. The numbers in a sequence are called terms. If you can always add the same number to the previous term to find the next term, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence. If you can always multiply the previous term by the same ...

Elementary mathematics
Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. The most basic topics in elementary mathematics are arithmetic and geometry. Beginning in the last decades of the 20th century, there has been an increased emphasis on problem solving. Elementary mathematics is used in everyday life in such activities as making change, cooking, buying and selling stock, and gambling. It is also an essential first step on the path to understanding science.In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics are algebra and trigonometry. Calculus, even though it is often taught to advanced secondary school students, is usually considered college level mathematics.
