I was recently given an older Power Macintosh 7200/75 that was owned by a family member, with the task of trying to access it to see what is on the hard drive.

Let $S$ be a subset of the integers which is closed under multiplication. There are many possible choices of $S$: $S = \{-1, 1\}$. $S$ is the set of integers of the form $a^k$, where $a$ is fixed and $k \geq 0$ varies. For example, $S$ is the set of powers of 2. $S$ is the set of integers of the...

I've recently been creating my own rendition of Amazing Grace, and while I was working to add a bit of stylistic elements to it, I imagined a melody in my head which would require 3 beats in the space of one eighth note.
