Additive Combinatorics
The modulus is a number that defines the range of equivalence classes in modular arithmetic. It determines how integers are grouped together based on their remainders when divided by this number, leading to concepts of congruence. In modular arithmetic, the operation of addition, subtraction, and multiplication are performed with respect to the modulus, allowing for a different way of understanding integer relationships.
congrats on reading the definition of modulus. now let's actually learn it.
