I think it is one of the besetting flaws of our education system that elementary number theory, perhaps the most beautiful sub-discipline of mathematics, is not taught in schools. I thought of including in the post itself a full explanation that presupposes no prior knowledge of number theory. But that would just have put readers off, and we fledgeling bloggers cannot afford to give a fig for readers' tastes.<BR/><BR/>Rahul Saha said...<BR/>Very nice post Sryon. Really nice. For a coincidence, read the post I'll put up later today. Note: This is not a cheap trick to get you to read my blog.<BR/><BR/>A Couch-side View said...<BR/>I second Saha. But I do not have a post to follow yours up. I have however written something else of my own and this is indeed a cheap trick to make you read my blog.<BR/><BR/>RC said...<BR/>Nice, Sroyon. Very nice. Makes one wonder about something Einstein said:<BR/><BR/>"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."<BR/><BR/>Hmmmmm ..... :)<BR/><BR/>Wisps of Randomness said...<BR/>Wow,that was a good read. Didn't understand all of it though,but I DID understand what you were getting at,which is the whole point,I guess^.^<BR/><BR/>Sroyon said...<BR/>@saha: Hey, thanks! And (no flattery intended) you'll never need to resort to cheap tricks to keep me coming back to your blog.<BR/><BR/>@suhrith: And neither will you. :)<BR/><BR/>@rc: Hey I hadn't heard that quote before! Would probably have included it in my post if I had.<BR/><BR/>@wisps: That, as you say, was the whole point.<BR/><BR/>A.K. Visalakshi said...<BR/>clap clap clap! And not just because i still use my fingers to count!<BR/><BR/>little boxes said...<BR/>woohoo...makes me feel like an idiot for sure<BR/><BR/>kroswami said...<BR/>“What a freak you are” look that I sometimes get from people."<BR/><BR/>sometimes??<BR/><BR/>Indecision Personified!!!!!!! said...<BR/>That girl with that look was dead on. Tell me do you know where she is now... i was thinking there would be a nice triumverate of 'partners-in-crime'. :)<BR/><BR/>btw this is a cheap trick to get you to have a look at my blog.<BR/><BR/>February 11, 2009 12:33 AMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
