I created a text file with “just4root” as the contents of the file to look at what the linux command ‘sha1sum’ digests the file — nicks@grant:~$ cat shatest just4root nicks@grant:~$ sha1sum shatest caa707808838ff4c8ac838d08d4e137878aea3ee shatest With maxima, we can again calculated the hash and verify that it checks ok.

There are twelve semitones in a music octave, when frequency doubles. Dividing this doubling into twelve equal parts, yields the twelfth root of two. An interesting Maxima problem is to compute its convergents; These values agree with wikipedia and provide some sort of explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_root_of_two (%i3) 2^(1/12),numer; (%o3) 1.059463094359295 (%i4) cf(%); […]
maxima is constructed as a double layer. Bottom level is lisp, and upper level is maxima. Building ecl. https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/ Building maxima. git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/maxima/code maxima-code
One recent cipher option in openSSH is ed25519. This is an Elliptic curve and is used in many public key cryptographic schemes. These curves are polynomials in two variables — (x,y), and of the second degree in y, and of the third degree in x. One can consider the curve […]
