Greatest common divisor Updated 2025-07-16
The "greatest common divisor" of two integers and , denoted is the largest natural number that divides both of the integers.
For example, is 4, because:
  • 4 divides both 8 and 12
  • and this is not the case for any number larger than 4. E.g.:
    • 5 divides neither one
    • 6 divides 12
    • 7 divides neither
    • 8 divides only 8
    and so on.

One of the first 1 million USD (zero artistic value) porn movie. And also a piece of shit! Hotter porn has been shot in kitchens around the world using iPhones.

Polynomial over a ring Updated 2025-07-16
However, there is nothing in the immediate definition that prevents us from having a ring instead, i.e. a field but without the commutative property and inverse elements.
The only thing is that then we would need to differentiate between different orderings of the terms of multivariate polynomial, e.g. the following would all be potentially different terms:
while for a field they would all go into a single term:
so when considering a polynomial over a ring we end up with a lot more more possible terms.
Hyperplane Updated 2025-07-16
Generalization of a plane for any number of dimensions.
Kind of the opposite of a line: the line has dimension 1, and the plane has dimension D-1.
In , both happen to coincide, a boring example of an exceptional isomorphism.
How to teach and learn physics Updated 2025-07-16
The approach many courses take to physics, specially "modern Physics" is really bad, this is how it should be taught:
This is likely because at some point, experiments get more and more complicated, and so people are tempted to say "this is the truth" instead of "this is why we think this is the truth", which is much harder.
But we can't be lazy, there is no replacement to the why.
