You may never have heard of modular arithmetic, but you use it every day without the slightest difficulty. In this system, numbers wrap around when they reach a certain size called the modulus; it is ...

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can implement complex computations by leveraging a range of dynamics, such as oscillations, attractors, and transient trajectories. A growing body of work has ...

I'm sure FPGA logic designers have often heard it said: “We just need to take this number mod 3.” Or maybe something like, “Just round to the nearest hundred.” This latter case really means: “Take the ...

Abstract: Implementing factorization concept in Montgomery Modular Arithmetic improves the efficiency of standard modular arithmetic, which occurs in many cryptographic algorithms that are applied ...

One of my fellow contributors here recently wrote a post about leap years and why we have them. This reminded me of modular arithmetic and the formula for calculating the day of the week for any date ...

Baby birds can do arithmetic, say researchers in Italy. Scientists from the universities of Padova and Trento demonstrated chicks' ability to add and subtract objects as they were moved behind two ...
