## Modulo Arithmetic with Euler Math Toolbox

Recently, I came across the problem to compute expressions in the modulo arithmetic with integer numbers. Here is an example: We like to compute expressions modulo 31. Since 31 is prime the numbers 0 to 30 with addition and multiplication … Weiterlesen

## Euler Math Toolbox and Matlab

Recently, this site got more traffic than usual. So I thought I welcome all of you in the new year (which is already three weeks old now). And I provide some new content for you to read. For me, the … Weiterlesen

I like to demonstrate a few tricks with Maxima and EMT. Assume you want to generate the Vandermonde matrix, and check the identity $$\det \begin{pmatrix} 1 & x_0 & \ldots & x_0^n \\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \\ … Weiterlesen 12.

## Teachers forget the Logic

I found this in my Google+ box some time ago. The comments showed clearly the disastrous confusion that teachers produce when they refuse to teach logic. Today, blogs like this do not get a very thorough reading. But the matter … Weiterlesen

## Linear Optimization with Maxima and EMT

Maxima and EMT do of course have implementations of the Simplex algorithm. The algorithm in Maxima seems to work differently for floating point numbers and for fractions. Here is an example in fractions. We solve a problem in standard form. … Weiterlesen

## Povray in Euler Math Toolbox

EMT can do a lot of 3D plots, but it is not an OpenGL application. This means that it has restrictions concerning hidden surfaces and intersecting objects. But if you install Povray you can do a lot more. Note that … Weiterlesen

## Random Dices

This is just an answer to a question that came up in a discussion. Can you simulate 2 dice throws and display the frequencies in EMT? Actually, this is quite simple. We demonstrate it with 20 repetitions first. The trick … Weiterlesen
