OT---Math breakthrough! Now a work-log.

Well, this is a promising start. It took them quite some time to give you feed-back, and that is good. Please go on, your thoughts sound very good!

Keep going Rudy, I love the progress. too bad it wasn't accepted right away though.

I moved my math and questions over to this forum.

I am hoping I will get a better reception than I got the last time I was there. I think they blocked me. I had to go to a different computer to get back in.

Thanks for all your encouragement!

Excellent, now I can stalk you there!

If they blocked you they would have banned your username too. If you are having trouble getting in from one computer I would send them an e-mail alerting them to it. Sometimes they block IP ranges to keep banned people from reregistering. I've had it happen before.

I have discovered that the series I'm so proud of is actually Oppermann's Conjecture (1882.) Oh, well.

Well, that is one part of science: what you discover may have been known before - but not necessarily well documented. What does this mean for your proposals for the proofs? That it has been tried before? Or have you found a new application of the old conjecture?

Actually, what I presented was a new way of looking at the problem. I forced convergence, which I haven't seen before. However, that doesn't help to prove that the series is infinite. I'm looking at some other approaches.

I did edit this page to let others know about it.

If I had had that info in December, I would have tried some other approach, (including putting Oppermann in the title of the paper.)

If you have some college math, this is a terrific book!

The New Book of Prime Number Records.

I created a thread on Highly Technical to get some feedback on a proposed proof of the Riemann Hypothesis.
