Operators, Functions, and Properties – part 43

Posted on 2011/04/17 by

In the last several posts in this series, we’ve looked at cyclical patterns of behavior of numbers and operators.  For example, in the previous post we saw that when counting up, the last digit of a number consistently repeats after … Continue reading →
