Fast Arithmetics Using Chinese Remaindering

In this paper, some issues concerning the Chinese remaindering representation are discussed. Some new converting methods, including an efficient probabilistic algorithm based on a recent result of von zur Gathen and Shparlinski \cite{Gathen-Shparlinski}, are described. An efficient refinement of the NC$^1$ division algorithm of Chiu, Davida and Litow \cite{Chiu-Davida-Litow} is given, where the number of moduli is reduced by a factor of $\log n$

Reflection on use of the Reacting to the Past pedagogy in a History of Mathematics course

This brief report provides a reflection on the use of the Reacting to the Past (RTTP) pedagogy in a History of Mathematics classroom. The conclusion is drawn that the RTTP pedagogy is very successful in engaging students in active learning, and appropriate games may be utilized to help students learn about the role of mathematics in historical developments as well as in society today
