Mathematical Studies

by G. P. Jelliss

Rational Mathematics

My aim here is to try to provide a simply expressed course on mathematics as the study of structure, concentrating on finite systems. I am putting these notes together to clarify ideas in my own mind, but I hope others will find it useful, and will not find too many mistakes. There is much more to be included in due course.

1 – Generalities
Introduction
Reason
Symbols
Systems and Sets
Sequences and Arrays
Quotations and Sources

2 – Algebra
Operators
Relations, Equivalence, Order
Operations, Groupoids
Dualised Algebras, Lattices
Boolean Algebras
Logic Algebra
Set Algebra
Inversive Algebra: Permutoids, Groups
Rings and Fields

3 – Arithmetic
Numbers
Numerical Order, Finiteness
Addition and Subtraction
Multiplication, Quotient, Remainder, Congruence
Powers
Forms, Power Series
Factorials
Combinations
Divisibility, GCD, LCM
Prime Numbers


Alternative Mathematics

This is a miscellaneous collection of unsystematic ideas, observations and fancies that have interested me from time to time.

The Real Circular Constant
Squaring the Circle
Altairian Arithmetic An Alternative Number System
Numerology The Study of Numbers
Digitology The Study of Number Systems
Numeromancy Schemes for Assigning Numbers to Letters
Arithmosophy The Wisdom of Numbers: A Scheme for Assigning Numbers to Ideas


Empirical Geometry

These pages are under construction. Here is the first page. Some diagrans and entries are missing:
