A famous theorem by¹ Fermat is that four squares cannot form an arithmetic progression. (Three definitely can: $1^2 = 1$, $5^2 = 25$ and $7^2 = 49$ already give an example). It already has been dis...

Modular arithmetic utilizes this "wrapping around" idea, after you reached the greatest element comes the smallest. So modular arithmetic is a sort of a mindset. A binary operation is an operation which combines two elements, for example addition is a binary operation since it combines two elements.

  1. does the proof above make sure that $a_n$ is not arithmetic? a sequence cannot be arithmetic and geometric at the same time, right? 2) what about more complex expressions? like $b_n=ln (n)$? how do I quickly see if it is arithmetic or geometric sequence?

It’s well known that the geometric mean of a set of positive numbers is less sensitive to outliers than the arithmetic mean. It’s easy to see this by example, but is there a deeper theoretical reas...
