Uma fórmula alternativa à formula de Zeller para determinação de datas

Abstract

In this work, we tried to take a simple approach of some classical theorems propositions and theorems of modular congruence with emphasis in the study of the calendar so that this part becomes better known, because modular congruence plays a large role in solving many arithmetic problems, since elementary and undergraduate education has forgotten. In order to rescue such theorems, thus developing skills in the teaching of arithmetic, we explore some propositions and theorems: divisibility, divisibility criterion, formule Zeller, propriety of modular and entire function. We believe that the focus of this work, using a simple example linked to the student’s daily life, such as the calendar, can be used to improve the teaching and larning of arithmetic possibly serves as a motivating element for students and teachers who seek to improve their knowledge in arithmetic in its various developments.
