It happens quite a bit like this, where I'm working on one problem, and
then sort of idly play with something completely different, and find a
neat way to show something else.
That's how I found my prime counting function when I was trying to
explain to some sci.math'ers my FLT proof.
Here talking about sign conventions, I found an easy way to show that
there is a problem with current teaching and thinking on algebraic
integers.
After all, the z and z* in my example can be written as a ratio of
algebraic integers.
However, they behave in a way contrary to conventional thinking.
Errors in thinking in mathematics are not small things.
The error I'm highlighting here is big enough to blow apart arguments
thought to be proofs, like Wiles's work on Taniyama-Shimura.
Easy example, but let's see how many of you try to dodge it.

like cleaning the mirror, then noticing the floor needs to be cleaned too.

Your pcf dosen't work yet, when are you going to fix it?

What is it?

[/quote:54b8666b2b]
z and z* are complex numbers, if z = a + i*b then z* = a - i*b
how are z, z* experessed as a ratio of algegraic numbers?

You have shown no errors, nothing. You be TROLL |

I'm going to write a textbook about surrogate factoring and sell it on Ebay.
I will not share the profits with anyone. |
