In mathematics , the phrase of the form indicates that a mathematical object, or more frequently a collection of objects, follows a certain pattern of expression. It is frequently used to reduce the formality of Mathematical proof mathematical proofs . Example of use Here is a proof which should be appreciable with limited mathematical background Statement The product of any two Even and odd numbers even natural numbers is also even. Proof Any even natural number is of the form 2n , where n is any natural number. Therefore, let us assume that we have two even numbers which we will denote by 2k and 2l . Their product is 2k 2l 4 kl 2 2kl . Since 2kl is also a natural number, the product is even. Note In this case, both Proof by exhaustion exhaustivity and wikt exclusive exclusivity were needed. That is, it was not only necessary that every even number is of the form 2n exhaustivity , but also that every expression of the form 2n is an even number exclusivity .

Some of your disks are infected by a VIRUS Another masterpiece of The Mega Mighty SCA SCA is an acronym for the Swiss Cracking Association, a group engaged in software protection removal, so the geographic origin of the virus was Switzerland. The virus is probably authored by an SCA member known as CHRIS . SCA will not harm disks per se, but spreads to any write enabled floppies inserted. If they use custom bootblocks such as games , they are rendered unusable. SCA also checksums as an original filesystem OFS bootblock, hence destroying newer filesystems if the user doesn t know the proper use of the install command to remove SCA install df0 FFS FORCE to recover a fast filesystem floppy . The Mega Mighty SCA produced the first Amiga virus checker which killed the SCA virus. This may well have been in response to estimates that approximately 40 of all Amiga users had SCA in their disk collection somewhere, due to rampant piracy. Other authors inspired by the harmless SCA virus would later produce more destructive viruses known as the Byte Bandit and the Byte Warrior. http agn www.informatik.uni hamburg.de catalog amiga html scaorigi.htm SCA Virus entry in the amiga archive of the http agn www.informatik.uni hamburg.de vtc index.htm Virus Test Center http www.sca.ch Swiss Cracking Association s homepage http ave.teyko.com view.php?id 195&name SCA SCA Virus description at the Amiga Virus Encyclopedia Category ... more details
