Could you provide a better definition of modulus? We need one for simple arithmetic, and another for computer programming. Also, please move the bit about complex numbers to that article. --Ed Poor Talk 19:01, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
- Sure, I can try. I don't know about the computer programming version, so you'll have to fill me in... does 5 %% 3 (or whatever it is) actually return something different from 2? I think the complex numbers thing should stay here. I won't expand it beyond one sentence, but if someone is trying to figure out what the term means and comes to this page, they ought to be able to find out.
- I think the best solution would be to make this some kind of "disambiguation" page, with a link to Modular arithmetic and a link to complex number. What do you think? --MarkGall 19:05, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
