In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two. That is, it is a prime number of the form Mn = 2n − 1 for some...

An order of magnitude is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to some contextually understood reference value, usually 10, interpreted...

In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor involved in some term of a polynomial, a series, or an expression. It may be a number (dimensionless)...
