[quote=blob100;206813]The point is that I do learn, as I said: "by reading the book "solved and unsolved problems in number theory" I found this conjecture... and by playing with it..."
1) I think reading this book is learning.
2) I think playing with the materials help to understand it.
Please agree that I'm learning and I STOPPED conjecturing.
As I said, I didn't find any new conjecture.. I just played with an existed one.

Silverman,
As I said before...
I STOPPED conjecturing, and started learning.
By looking forward, I found this mistake. I wanted to change that horrible mistake, why do you say I still conjecture? By writing I mistaken, you understood I conjectured something? please agree that I do learn.
I hear my teachers, and do what they say.

BTW: what do you think about the book "Number Story" by Higgins?
Found it in the library and took it home to look inside, and when I will finish "solved and unsolved..." I'll read it, or what you will suggest me to read.

Is Legendre's conjecture unproven? By wikipedia it is.. but not by MathWorld.

[QUOTE=blob100;207680]Is Legendre's conjecture unproven? By wikipedia it is.. but not by MathWorld.[/QUOTE]

It's unproven. Further, both of those sources say as much.

I would be very surprised if it was proven in the next 20 years.

Wait, let me understand.
Unproven means, it wasn't proven, or it was proved as a false proposition?

The first one. (unproven=not proven, disproved=proven as a false proposition)
A conjecture has not been proven (is unproven).
A theorem has been proven.
I'm not sure what something would be called that has been disproved (proven as false), but it wouldn't be conjecture or theorem.

Is there a theory or a conjecture that show the number of succesive prime pairs with the same gap between n to 0?
For example: G_2(15)=3.
Becuase there are 3 pairs of succesive prime numbers between 15 and 0.

If you don't require the numbers to be consecutive primes, and the gap is even and not too large (constant, or perhaps increasing as log x or so) then there should be about 2C_2 x / (log x)^2 such pairs up to x, where 2C_2 is about 1.3203.

This has not been proven; it's a generalization of the twin prime conjecture and a special case of the k-tuple conjecture.

What is a good book to learn calculus?

[QUOTE=blob100;208685]What is a good book to learn calculus?[/QUOTE]
AB or BC? Or both?

blob100 2010-03-18 12:21

What do you mean by AB and BC? I ask for a nice calculus book to learn the basic of the calculus (to understand proofs, analyzing...).

You are joking, right?

You have not mastered basic algebra yet.
