Chebyshev Polynomials
Chebychev Polynomials find wide application. They can be described recursively as , and . So if we plug Here is a nice paper by Arthur Benjamin on Chebyshev’s Polynomial
Polynomial with integer coefficients
Let be a polynomial of degree with integer coefficients and real roots, not all equal, in the interval . Prove that if is the leading coefficient of , then
2n-1 problem
The problem says that if there are elements then the minimal number of elements in a set which guarantees that there will be exactly elements divisible by is
3n Problem
I found this in Mathematical miniatures by Titu Andreescu. Suppose we have integers divided into three sets of each. Then one can alway pick an element from each of the three sets such that one can be expressed as the … Continue reading
Among n integer one can choose several (possibly one) whose sum is divided by n
This is a classic problem in number theory which can be easily solved by Pigeon Hole principle. Let be the sum of first integers. Thus we have different sums. Suppose none of these sums are divisible by . However any number … Continue reading
Existence of a real number such that when added to seq of real gives all irrationals
Let be arbitrary real numbers. Prove that there exists a real number such that each of the numbers is irrational. It’s easy to see that if all are rational numbers then any irrational number will do the job because the … Continue reading

Inductive Construction
Given numbers is it possible to arrange the numbers in a row so that the arithmetic mean of any two of these numbers is not equal to some number between them? Let’s begin with two numbers Three numbers or or … Continue reading
Cyclic product of positive real numbers each less than 1 is less than 1/4
Let be non-negative real numbers that add up to or Prove that . Well its easy to see that it is true for Assume that they are all arranged about a circle, so that can be regarded as a pair … Continue reading
n! as sum of n divisors, n bigger than 3
Prove that, for each , the number can be represented as the sum of distinct divisors of itself. Note for it does not work because the divisors but it does work for where the divisors are . Similarly for the … Continue reading
Proof using vectors in Number theory
Prove that for any eight real numbers at least one of the numbers is nonnegative.
