Welcome to my Math and Coding blog! Here, we explore the fascinating intersection of mathematics and programming. Whether you're a math enthusiast, a coding geek, or both, you'll find something interesting here.
Algorithms are the heart of computer science. They are step-by-step procedures for calculations. Let's take a look at one of the most famous algorithms: the Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers.
The Euclidean algorithm is based on the principle that the GCD of two numbers does not change if the larger number is replaced by its difference with the smaller number.
def gcd(a, b):
while b:
a, b = b, a % b
return a
# Example usage
print(gcd(48, 18)) # Output: 6
Mathematics provides a foundation for many coding concepts. Let's explore how the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, can be implemented in Python.
The Fibonacci sequence is a classic example of a recursive function.
def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 0:
return 0
elif n == 1:
return 1
else:
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
# Example usage
for i in range(10):
print(fibonacci(i), end=" ") # Output: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34

You can include inline equations in your markdown using single dollar signs. For example, the equation for the area of a circle is given by .
For more complex equations, you can use double dollar signs to create block equations. Here is an example of the quadratic formula:
These equations are rendered beautifully using LaTeX syntax, making it easy to include mathematical expressions in your blog.
