Leslie G. Valiant proved in 1979 that computing the permanent of a zero-one matrix is complete for the counting complexity class under the paper's arithmetic reductions.[ref]
The Complexity of Computing the Permanent by Leslie G. Valiant. Theorem1 and reduction construction
For a bipartite graph's zero-one adjacency matrix, the permanent counts perfect matchings. Deciding whether one exists admits a polynomial-time algorithm, while counting all of them has the paper's much stronger completeness property. This makes the difference between existence and counting concrete. The permanent resembles the determinant but lacks its alternating signs, so an efficient determinant algorithm does not automatically compute it. Valiant's permanent reduction encodes logical constraints into weighted combinatorial choices.
Michael O. Rabin analyzed a randomized algorithm for primality testing in his 1980 paper. The Miller-Rabin primality test checks whether a candidate integer satisfies conditions obeyed by primes under modular exponentiation. A failed check certifies compositeness; passing a check gives a probable prime, not a proof of primality.[ref]
For each fixed odd composite candidate, at most one quarter of the admissible bases are strong liars. Independent uniformly chosen bases therefore reduce the probability of accepting that composite to at most after rounds. This probability is over the test's choices for a fixed input; it is not a posterior probability that an arbitrary accepted integer is prime.
Manindra Agrawal coauthored Primality and Identity Testing via Chinese Remaindering by Manindra Agrawal and Somenath Biswas with Somenath Biswas in 2003. The paper connects primality testing to polynomial identity testing, using randomized algorithms for circuit-represented polynomials over finite fields, the rationals and, for one procedure, integers modulo an arbitrary candidate.[ref]
The computational problem is not simply evaluating an already expanded polynomial: a compact arithmetic circuit may encode exponentially many polynomial coefficients. A successful test must exploit that representation without materializing the expansion. This distinction connects an algebraic identity to an implementable randomized algorithm.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
