Fields - Elliptical Curves Over Finite Fields

1.1 Weierstrass Equations 1.1.1 Introduction A weierstrass equation is an elliptical curve with a collection of points (x, y) (xεF and yεF) and is of the third grade with the form: $$ y^2 + a1xy + a3y = x^3 + a2x^2 + a4x + a6, ai\epsilon F $$ and ∞ always added

Max number with pipes in C++ and Unix

Let's say we have x children, these x children all generate a number and give this to the parent. The parent now finds the highest number and sends the children the process id of the winning child. If the winning child recognises itself then it prints that it

SQL - Recursion

Introduction Recursion in SQL is a lesser known technique, this technique is just like we expect as it would work in any developing language such as C, Javascript, …, it allows us to create a query that will be able to recursively get and process data to find a result. Think

SQL - Part 5 - Common Table Expressions

CTE's (Common Table Expressions) are mostly used when creating recursive queries, creating temporary views (instead of subqueries). Calculating the dates of easter Use case And Example: We want to calculate the dates of when it is easter for the next hundred years. Solution:Since we are explaining examples
