How to Differentiate an Integer Modulo n
Emmons, Caleb; Krebs, Mike; Shaheen, Anthony
College Mathematics Journal, v40 n5 p345-353 Nov 2009
A number derivative is a numerical mapping that satisfies the product rule. In this paper, we determine all number derivatives on the set of integers modulo n. We also give a list of undergraduate research projects to pursue using these maps as a starting point.
