1. Modular Arithmetic

   Linked via "clock arithmetic"

   Modular arithmetic, also known as clock arithmetic, is a system of arithmetic for integers where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value—the modulus. This system is fundamental to Number Theory and is extensively applied in cryptography and coding theory. The core concept is the congruence relation, formalized by Carl Friedrich Gauss, which establishes an equivalenc…
