I heard the concept of the ”equal‐sum point” in a math summer camps and found it very interesting. After searching on the Internet,I found that the ”equal‐sum point” was associated with Soddy point. Soddy point is a magic point in plane geometry, which was found by British physicist, chemist Frederick.Soddy. Some research about the Soddy point has been done in foreign countries, but the properties are not comprehensive. In China, Teacher HuasongHuang raised the concept of the “equal‐sum point” and the “equal‐difference point” and drew some properties, I found that these two points were very similar to the Soddy point, but they did not link the two points with Soddy point. In this article ,I will connect the Soddy point with the “equal‐sum point” and the “equal‐difference point” and study their properties more deeply and find some new discoveries.

This article studied the speed of addition and multiplication of natural number in different scale systems, the times of addition and multiplication in different scale systems have been compared quantificationally through a function model presented. The conclusion is that binary system is the best for addition, binary system and ternary system are better than other scale systems for multiplication, and they each has a suitable range.

In this paper, we study the decomposition of sets of consecutive integers, i.e., how to express the set {0, 1, . . . ,mn−1} as the Minkovski sum of two sets, one with m terms and the other with n terms. First, we translate the problem into the language of polynomials. Then we use the properties of cyclotomic polynomials to determine the structure of all the solutions. Then, we deduce formulas for the number of such expressions. Finally, we give an algorithm to calculate the number of such expressions and analyze its computational complexity.

Japan’s lunar probe satellite “Kaguya”, China’s lunar probe satellite “Chang’ e-1 lunar probe” left the earth on September 14th, 2007 and October 24th, 2007, began the exploration to the moon. The launching of the China’s lunar satellite is the proud to the global Chinese. However, at the same time as we are proud of the event, we must admit that the pictures published which were sent back by Japanese are clearer and more beautiful than Chinese. While we are saying that the Japan has a better technology, maybe we also need to say that the Japanese can hold better chance than Chinese when taking the pictures. The following two pictures were sent back by the satellite. Picture one is sent back by Japan’s satellite, Picture two is sent back by China’s. It can be seen that there is a long way for China if we want to become stronger at science technology. We also hope that we can have some contribution in the prosperity of China now and in the future.
