Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand November 11, 1996 You happen upon the number 1.6180339887. It looks vaguely familiar, but you can't quite place it. How can you find out whether this particular number is special in some way, perhaps as the output of a specific formula or the value of a familiar mathematical function? If you have the kind of phenomenal insight and prodigious memory that mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) had at his disposal to work out such problems, you might be able to figure it out on your own. Otherwise, you could consult the Inverse Symbolic Calculator, which is somewhat like a spell checker for numbers. You can find it on the World Wide Web at http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/projects/ISC/ISCmain.html . You enter the number in the blank space provided, click on "run," and await the answer. In this case, the database search produces a page of formulas and functions that could generate 1.6180339887 (rounded off). The most intriguing possibility is the expression (1 + sqrt(5))/2, which represents the golden ratio of Greek architecture and design. The Inverse Symbolic Calculator (ISC) is an ongoing project of the Center for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. The work is largely that of Simon Plouffe, with help from a variety of collaborators, including the brothers Peter and Jonathan Borwein.

These algorithms can be easily implemented (multiple precision arithmetic is not needed), require virtually no memory, and feature run times that scale nearly linearly with the order of the digit desired. They make it feasible to compute, for example, the billionth binary digit of or on a modest work station in a few hours run time. We demonstrate this technique by computing the ten billionth hexadecimal digit of

Extractions: Written: March 5, 1999 Rabbi Levi Ben Gerson, in his pre-algebra text (1321), Sefer Ma'asei Khosev, had about fifty theorems, complete with rigorous proofs. Nowadays, we no longer call them theorems, but rather (routine) algebraic identities. For example, proving (a+b)*c=a*c+b*c took him about half a page, while proving (a-b)*c+a*(b-c)=b*(a-c) took a page and a half, and proving a*(b*c*d)=d*(a*b*c) took him one page. The reason that it took him so long is that while he already had the algebraic concepts, he still was too hung-up on words, and while he used symbols, (denoted by dotted Hebrew letters), he did not quite utilize, systematically, the calculus of algebraic identities. The reason was that he was still in a pre-algebra frame of mind, and it was more than three hundred years later (even after Cardano), that probably Viete started the modern `high-school' algebra. So Levi Ben Gerson had an inkling of the algebraic revolution to come, but still did not go all the way, because we humans are creatures of habit, and he liked proving these deep theorems so much that it did not occur to him to streamline them, and hence kept repeating the same old arguments again and again in long-winded natural language.
