Abd-Elhameed, W. M.; Zeyada, N. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper is concerned with developing a new class of generalized numbers. The main advantage of this class is that it generalizes the two classes of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. Some new identities involving these generalized numbers are obtained. In addition, the two well-known identities of Sury and Marques which…

Vaninsky, Alexander – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article introduces a trigonometric field (TF) that extends the field of real numbers by adding two new elements: sin and cos--satisfying an axiom sin[superscript 2] + cos[superscript 2] = 1. It is shown that by assigning meaningful names to particular elements of the field, all known trigonometric identities may be introduced and proved. Two…

Debnath, Lokenath – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article deals with a brief history of Fibonacci's life and career. It includes Fibonacci's major mathematical discoveries to establish that he was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant mathematicians of the Medieval Period. Special attention is given to the Fibonacci numbers, the golden number and the Lucas numbers and their fundamental…

Peralta, Javier – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
The general purpose of this article is to shed some light on the understanding of real numbers, particularly with regard to two issues: the real number as the limit of a sequence of rational numbers and the development of irrational numbers as a continued fraction. By generalizing the expression of the golden ratio in the form of the limit of two…

de Oliveira, E. Capelas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
We present a general formula for a triple product involving four real numbers. As a particular case, we get the sum of a triple product of four odd integers. Some interesting results are recovered. We derive a general formula for more than four odd numbers.
