Modular arithmetic visually! We explore addition modulo n, and discover and prove the number of cycles and their sizes. We use a visualization tool called a "dynamical portrait."
This treatment is inspired by Martin H. Weissman's beautiful book, An Illustrated Theory of Numbers.
This video is appropriate for an introduction to proof course, for undergraduate mathematics majors, or for the mathematically inclined, especially those interested in cryptography or number theory.
This is part of a series on modular arithmetic: • Modular Arithmetic Vis...
