Why do books say “of course” it's never that simple, differential equations? @Arturo: That is my thought as well. |

Unique Groups for Game Tournament @JasCav: I'm working on writing up the brackets that Gerry's method gives you. Stay tuned! |

Help on notation: $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ vs. $\mathbb{Z}_n$ Good points, all. As long as authors are explicit at the offset about what notation they are using, I guess it needn't cause any confusion. As always, context is key. |

Help on notation: $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ vs. $\mathbb{Z}_n$ I agree! Another notation which I don't often see, but which I sort of favor, is $\mathbf{C}_n$ for the cyclic group of order n. It has the same brevity as $\mathbf{Z}_n$ without the confusion. Unless $\mathbf{C}_n$ is used for something else, too...? |

How to study results of Diophantine equation? In your example, unless you put more restrictions on your quantities, there is no way to determine which of the 36 possibilities is the distinguished one you were looking for, since they are all valid solutions to the (Diophantine) equation you formed. |

Real world applications of prime numbers? Cicada's don't have the computing power that we do, so they stuck with smaller primes. Anyway, I realize my answer is not quite was the OP was looking for, but I still thought it was neat. |

History of zero? The second book, Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea, was very enjoyable. I read it before I even "liked" math in high school -- I highly recommend it! |
