Matrices Reloaded: RSA Factoring Challenge (part 2)
http://matrices-reloaded.blogspot.com/2015/03/rsa-factoring-challenge-part-2.html
A return journey into Maths. Thursday, 26 March 2015. RSA Factoring Challenge (part 2). In my previous blog. I asked the question "If you knew that a number was the product of two primes of the same length (in decimal digits) could you use the knowledge of the product to determine what the factors were? In what follows I will assume that for a number n we want to find the m-digit primes p and q such that n=pq. So a question that you could ask is how many digits does n have if p and q have m digits? From ...

Q to the E to the D: July 2012
http://qtotheetothed.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Q to the E to the D. Sunday, 1 July 2012. Well, I've put in some time with varying the blog content, so I think I can get away with a classic course-related post "without loss of generality" (to sound all topological). I'll have to keep it short as I'm in the middle of an indescribably boring translation about railway crossings, that is due in at 1am. I'm a bit behind schedule (when am I ever not behind.on anything? So it is looking like this it will be an all-day affair (again! Kim played a trick on me;...

M381 exam | Open University bent my brain - Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014
https://oumaths.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/m381-exam
Open University bent my brain – Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014. Maths study via The Open University. Have to say, the exam yesterday seemed very fair and quite representative of past papers. Ran out of time (as with every exam I have ever done), so hoping I have enough marks in the bag. Did six questions from number theory and two and a bit from mathematical logic when the “pens down” comment came. That completes degree one (Open). Good luck to all for results day.

M381 continued | Open University bent my brain - Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014
https://oumaths.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/m381-continued
Open University bent my brain – Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014. Maths study via The Open University. Or, should I say, continues. I have pretty much finished the logic books for the next assignment – TMA questions over the next couple of days. Then, it’s time for the number theory books – some good stuff in them, from the looks of it. So much so, that a poem I wrote aged 12 came back to me today – word for word – decades later. I’ve written it down.🙂. Placebo, maybe, but it’s working.

September | 2013 | Open University bent my brain - Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014
https://oumaths.wordpress.com/2013/09
Open University bent my brain – Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014. Maths study via The Open University. Archive for September, 2013. Next course and stuff. It’s been yonks since I’ve updated. Binned SM358 – no time – and managed a pass two on M337 complex analysis in the end – simply ran out of time in the exam, which I thought was pretty easy, to be fair, apart from me writing ever more slowly as the years go by. In other news, I have gone a bit programming mad. C# planned after Java.😉.

Open University bent my brain – Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014. Maths study via The Open University. Archive for November, 2013. A cracking little watch. I thought this video was a cracker and ended up with several sheets of A4 of ideas to explore. Maybe others studying M381 will find it worthwhile, too. November 21, 2013 Categories: Uncategorized. Still messing around…. 8230; with the last two questions of the logic assignment questions. Wired on coffee right now. Constructing Unlimited R...

Result | Open University bent my brain - Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014
https://oumaths.wordpress.com/2014/07/27/result-2
Open University bent my brain – Number Theory and Mathematical Logic for 2014. Maths study via The Open University. Just missed the necessary mark for a grade one on M381. So, grade two instead. Have claimed the Open degree. Have also enrolled on MT365 for next academic year – I have an old copy of the books here and have pretty much read them through on a first pass. MSXR209 residential course this week – assignment one done to bring with me. So, the next 12 months are:. It was filed under Uncategorized.

Matrices Reloaded: RSA Factoring Challenge (part 6)
http://matrices-reloaded.blogspot.com/2015/07/rsa-factoring-challenge-part-6.html
A return journey into Maths. Friday, 3 July 2015. RSA Factoring Challenge (part 6). I want to consider an example to show how we can attempt to find a solution to the eight simultaneous equations (1) to (8). I will start with an example where we know the two four digit primes p and q and then attempt to recover p and q from their product n using equations (1) to (8). Let p be 2029 and q be 4919 then their product n is 9980651. If we didn't know what p and q were then following our analysis in part (1).

Q to the E to the D: June 2012
http://qtotheetothed.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Q to the E to the D. Friday, 22 June 2012. Lots of little triangles. As if talking my dear wifey into letting us have Mobius strip wedding rings wasn't already taking things too far, I got my very first tattoo on Monday. And it's a maths one! Actually, the picture was taken from Unit C5 of M338 Topology. I downloaded the PDF version, zoomed it as big as I was allowed, then print-screened, pasted, cropped, and printed. As for the size, this was just what I got when choosing the 4 copies per A4 opt...I'm r...

Q to the E to the D: September 2012
http://qtotheetothed.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Q to the E to the D. Saturday, 29 September 2012. Phew #1" because my M336 TMA returned today. Which means that the young man I referred to, who my tutor thinks was probably her son, did not think it would be amusing to burn, rip up, or otherwise dispose of my assignment instead of give it to my tutor. Curiously, I just realised that my total score for both courses is also exactly the same, but due to the different weightings, I assume they'll end up with slightly different overall results. It has taken ...
