ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
2. Exponentiation & Logarithms
Exponentiation: Repeated multiplication of a number (e.g.,
25=322^5 = 32).
Logarithms: The inverse of exponentiation (e.g., log2(32)=5\
log_2(32) = 5).
Logarithms are used in complexity analysis, signal processing, and
finance.
3. Factorials & Combinations
Factorial (n!n!): The product of all integers from 1 to nn (e.g., 5!
=5×4×3×2×1=1205! = 5×4×3×2×1 = 120).
Combinations (C(n,r)C(n, r)): Used in probability and statistics
to calculate selections from a set without considering order.
o Formula: C(n,r)=n!r!(n−r)!C(n, r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}.
4. Matrix Arithmetic
Used in physics, graphics, AI, and engineering.
Includes matrix addition, multiplication, determinant, and inverse
calculations.
Example of matrix multiplication: [1234]×[5678]=[(1×5+2×7)
(1×6+2×8)(3×5+4×7)(3×6+4×8)]\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2\\ 3 & 4\
end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}5 & 6\\ 7 & 8\end{bmatrix} =
\begin{bmatrix}(1×5 + 2×7) & (1×6 + 2×8)\\ (3×5 + 4×7) & (3×6
+ 4×8)\end{bmatrix}
5. Modular Exponentiation
Used in cryptography (RSA encryption).
Computes large powers of numbers within a modulus efficiently.
Example: 3200mod 133^{200} \mod 13 can be computed using
fast exponentiation methods.
6. Prime Factorization & Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
Prime Factorization: Breaking down numbers into prime
components (e.g., 60 = 22×3×52^2 \times 3 \times 5).
GCD: The largest number that divides two numbers (e.g.,
GCD(18, 24) = 6).
Used in number theory and cryptography.
7. Complex Numbers & Imaginary Arithmetic
Involves numbers of the form a+bia + bi, where i=−1i = \sqrt{-1}.
Used in engineering, physics, and signal processing.
Example: (3+2i)×(1−i)=3−3i+2i−2i2=3−i+2=5−i(3 + 2i) \times (1 -
i) = 3 - 3i + 2i - 2i^2 = 3 - i + 2 = 5 - i.
8. Summation & Series
Arithmetic Series: Sn=n2(a+l)S_n = \frac{n}{2} (a + l).
Geometric Series: Sn=a1−rn1−rS_n = a \frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r} (if
∣r∣<1|r| < 1, then S=a1−rS = \frac{a}{1 - r}).
Used in finance, physics, and calculus.
9. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
Converts signals between time and frequency domains.
Used in digital signal processing, image compression, and
cryptography.
10. Continued Fractions
Represent numbers as fractions in an iterative way.
Used in number theory and irrational number approximations.
