Variance of variances. All is variance.

Summary:
In the previous post, I did a simulation to illustrate a theorem about the number of steps needed in the Euclidean algorithm. The distribution of the number of steps is asymptotically normal, and for numbers 0 < a < b < x the mean is asymptotically 12 log(2) log(x) / π². What about the variance? The reference cited in the previous […]
