Mathematical Girls - Fermat's Last Theorem

Milka, huh? I bet she’s ... sweet.

*badum tish*

xD

Alright, I’ll leave now.

I cannot say that i like Tetra's new character design...
Also aren't basic things like GCD (greatest common divisor) and LCM (least common multiple) tought in elementary school or something? I mean, they appear naturally when you add fractions...

Yes, volume 1 is pretty elementary.

That sneaky teacher...

they're just trying to teach me math. there's no story here.

Few pages in and already lost. =P

Well, if you get bored, spend some time at the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences: https://oeis.org/

On a related note (and I guess you probably already know this), one can always argue that any such construction has no unique answer. That is to say, given any numbers a₁ to a_n, we can always construct a formula such that a_i will be the odd one out for any i of our choosing. If we use something like the Lagrange Polynomial:

its value will be 1 for a = a_i and 0 if a is any other a_k in the series, which means a_i is the odd one out since the rest of the a_k's follow the same pattern.

 

Well, i know a much simplier method, just choose n numbers {a_i} and say that n-1 of them are roots of polynomial P(x):=\product_{i=1}^{n}{x-a_i} So it's equal 0 only on those numbers. But sure, interesting way of breaking such questions.

That does not mean, however, that one cannot enjoy spotting trivial patterns in a given set of numbers to try and find the odd one out. Which is probably what the author was trying to get people to do.

Only if we understand that such questions are only brain exercises not some kind of matematical problems. What is mostly wrong with those kind of questions are two things:
1. Using it in IQ tests. It's a really big problem as those questions doesn't really have true answer.
2. Some people will start to confuse numerology etc. with math. Then suddenly we have an another Dan Brown spouting nonsense how golden ratio is "divine proportion" because "it equals 1.61803398875"...

But that "find the odd one" is total bullshit. It's strictly based on the author of a question and definitely doesn't have "an one proper answer". For example:100, 225, 121, 256, 288, 361. 256 is the odd one, because it's the only number which is power of 2.

Oh yesss! Proper math in manga strikes again! Also the proof of this theorem is scary. Like seriously scary..

When you think about it, that two types of people they mention at the beginning are similar to basic way of mathematical thinking. One is based on counting (well loosely) e.g. algebra other one is based on geometry (once again, loosely) e.g. topology or probability theory...

Came here for the mathematics(seriously.). Lets see how long this can carry on

Saying as someone who's read some of his previous works, I think you wouldn't be disappointed. Google says that the author has written, apart from these manga, some actual books on programming.

Now THIS is a harem story I can get behind! (Seriously, this is actually a neat delivery. Can we keep this one going for a while?)

Last page used Roboto font...Nice!

hello page 35. wasn't expecting that

Many thanks to Forgotten Scans for redraws, releasing, QC and other aid. They're part of the joint, but unfortunately Batoto only allows three groups to be listed.

they're rather aptly named lol...

*See harem tags. get mathematics instead*

Well played

When your parents had enough with your manga habit and slip this manga to make you study.

This one sure looks different from the others
