1. In the Rectangular Coordinate System - On the vertical line - direction _______ is negative

2. Number X decreased by 12 divided by forty

3. Are used to indicate sets

4. More than one term (5x+4 contains two)

5. Studies algebraic properties and algebraic objects of interest in number theory. (Thus - analytic and algebraic number theory can and do overlap: the former is defined by its methods - the latter by its objects of study.) A key topic is that of the a

6. A number is divisible by 2 if

7. Addition of two complex numbers can be done geometrically by

8. A number is divisible by 3 if

9. A curve in the plane

10. LAWS FOR COMBINING NUMBERS

11. Quotient

12. Increased by

13. The central problem of Diophantine geometry is to determine when a Diophantine equation has

14. The Arabic numerals from 0 through 9 are called

15. Is any complex number that is a solution to some polynomial equation with rational coefficients; for example - every solution x of (say) is an algebraic number. Fields of algebraic numbers are also called algebraic number fields - or shortly number f

16. The relative greatness of positive and negative numbers

17. One asks whether there are any rational points (points all of whose coordinates are rationals) or integral points (points all of whose coordinates are integers) on the curve or surface. If there are any such points - the next step is to ask how many

18. This law can be applied to subtraction by changing signs so that all negative signs become number signs and all signs of operation are positive.

19. Another way of encoding points in the complex plane other than using the x- and y-coordinates is to use the distance of a point P to O - the point whose coordinates are (0 - 0) (the origin) - and the angle of the line through P and O. This idea leads

20. The sum of two complex numbers A and B - interpreted as points of the complex plane - is the point X obtained by building a parallelogram three of whose vertices are O - A and B. Equivalently - X is the point such that the triangles with vertices O -

21. A number is divisible by 9 if

22. One asks whether there are any rational points (points all of whose coordinates are rationals) or integral points (points all of whose coordinates are integers) on the curve or surface. If there are any such points - the next step is to ask how many

23. The numbers which are used for counting in our number system are sometimes called

24. Work on the problem of general polynomials ultimately led to the fundamental theorem of algebra -

25. G - E - M - A Grouping - Exponents - Multiply/Divide - Add/Subtract
