  2. Area code 216 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_216

    Area code 216 is the telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the city of Cleveland and most of its inner-ring suburbs in Cuyahoga County of the U.S. state of Ohio. The area code is one of the original North American area codes established in 1947. The four original numbering plan areas of Ohio.

  3. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The other roots of the equation are obtained either by changing of cube root or, equivalently, by multiplying the cube root by a primitive cube root of unity, that is . This formula for the roots is always correct except when p = q = 0 , with the proviso that if p = 0 , the square root is chosen so that C ≠ 0 .

  4. Cube root law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root_law

    The cube root law is an observation in political science that the number of members of a unicameral legislature, or of the lower house of a bicameral legislature, is about the cube root of the population being represented. [1] The rule was devised by Estonian political scientist Rein Taagepera in his 1972 paper "The size of national assemblies".

  5. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    If the rational root test finds no rational solutions, then the only way to express the solutions algebraically uses cube roots. But if the test finds a rational solution r, then factoring out (x – r) leaves a quadratic polynomial whose two roots, found with the quadratic formula, are the remaining two roots of the cubic, avoiding cube roots.

  6. Cubic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_field

    Adjoining a root of x 3 + x 2 − 2x − 1 to Q yields a cyclic cubic field, and hence a totally real cubic field. It has the smallest discriminant of all totally real cubic fields, namely 49. The field obtained by adjoining to Q a root of x 3 + x 2 − 3x − 1 is an example of a totally real cubic field that is not cyclic. Its discriminant is ...

  7. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    The square–cube law was first mentioned in Two New Sciences (1638). The square–cube law (or cube–square law) is a mathematical principle, applied in a variety of scientific fields, which describes the relationship between the volume and the surface area as a shape's size increases or decreases. It was first [dubious – discuss] described ...

  8. Root of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity

    For the case of roots of unity in fields of nonzero characteristic, see Finite field § Roots of unity. For the case of roots of unity in rings of modular integers, see Root of unity modulo n. Elementary properties. Every n th root of unity z is a primitive a th root of unity for some a ≤ n, which is the smallest positive integer such that z ...

  9. Tonelli–Shanks algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonelli–Shanks_algorithm

    Tonelli–Shanks algorithm. The Tonelli–Shanks algorithm (referred to by Shanks as the RESSOL algorithm) is used in modular arithmetic to solve for r in a congruence of the form r2 ≡ n (mod p ), where p is a prime: that is, to find a square root of n modulo p . Tonelli–Shanks cannot be used for composite moduli: finding square roots ...
