With only 2 pence and 5 pence coins, one cannot make 3 pence, but one can make any higher integer amount. In mathematics, the coin problem (also referred to as the Frobenius coin problem or Frobenius problem, after the mathematician Ferdinand Frobenius) is a mathematical problem that asks for the largest monetary amount that cannot be obtained ...
The Gifted Education Programme ( GEP) is an academic programme in Singapore, initially designed to identify the top 0.25% (later expanded to 0.5%, then 1%) of students from each academic year with outstanding intelligence. The tests are based on verbal, mathematical and spatial abilities (as determined by two rounds of tests ).
The main difficulty is that, in order to solve the problem, the square-roots should be computed to a high accuracy, which may require a large number of bits. The problem is mentioned in the Open Problems Garden. [4] Blomer [5] presents a polynomial-time Monte Carlo algorithm for deciding whether a sum of square roots equals 0.

The problem is named after Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian living in the 1st century. According to Josephus' firsthand account of the siege of Yodfat, he and his 40 soldiers were trapped in a cave by Roman soldiers. They chose suicide over capture, and settled on a serial method of committing suicide by drawing lots.
The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares. It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences . [2]
Saudi Arabia, [e] officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( KSA ), [f] is a country in West Asia and the Middle East. It covers the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula and has a land area of about 2 150 000 km 2 ( 830 000 sq mi), making it the fifth-largest country in Asia and the largest in the Middle East.
A mathematical problem is a problem that can be represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics. This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems. It can also be a problem referring to the nature of ...
