<p>Note: M[UMPS] has an operator called "modulo".
When both operands are positive numbers, "modulo" has a result that looks a lot like "remainder";
however, there is an important difference.</p>

<p>To better understand the intricacies of "modulo" and how it is
different from "remainder", see Donald Knuth's definition (Volume 1 of the "big books"), or
find out the beauty of cyclic algebra as formulated by Niels Henrik Abel (August 5, 1802 – April 6, 1829).</p>
