Is this the greatest Number Theorist ever? (new book)
« on: 10/08/2018 00:36:21 »
Number Theory is probably the most important branch in all of Mathematics. But if you were asked who is the greatest number theorist of all time, who would you say? Well, there is one book that has a direct answer to that question, and this book presents many different theories of numbers that I had never come across before. The opening page of the book lingered with me throughout the day, so I decided to ask the professionals here what they think about the first page of this book. Have you ever seen this type of approach to number theory before? And do you think this book is a game changer? This Number Theory book has 4,600 views on scribd, and that is a lot for a book about number theory. I just want to see professional feedback about the first page of the book.

This isn’t number theory it is numerology and as such is not science.
Also, it is spam, please don’t post any more of it.

Galois was pretty amazing, for someone who was so young and rejected from schools.

Ramanujan was also unschooled in his young years.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan

You wonder what they could have achieved if they had been born in a different time and place...
