please share your analysis though of course there is a different between older and newer version. To me a checkpoint is very important . It is a key factor for performance and recovery..

What on earth are you asking? Mathematical explanation of a checkpoint? The only math taking place is incrementing the SCN and generating the sequence to create a starting number, max number, and when to handle the SCN when it reaches max value (Oracle generated, nothing by you).
The SCN is a whole number. A subclass of whole numbers is integers. Integers are numbers such as -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on that extend to plus/minus infinity. SCNs are whole strictly-positive numbers (that excludes zero).

I know 1 + 1 = 2

extract from the oracle docs
During normal operations, Oracle's DBWn processes periodically write dirty buffers, or buffers that have in-memory changes, to disk. Periodically, Oracle records the highest system change number (SCN) of all changes to blocks, such that all data blocks with changes below that SCN have been written to disk by DBWn. This SCN is the checkpoint.
Hope this helps
