That's a fine name. Much better than "rogue"! Is your real name Phil Moore? |

My real name is easy to find. Click on my username and select the "Contact Info" tab. My homepage is listed there. The choice of "rogue" as a username is a reference to a roll playing game of the same name, a game I played quite a bit during college with friends. That information is also in this forum, but probably not so easy to find.

I'm not here to "mess" with people. If you scroll back to the very beginning of this extraordinarily popular thread, then you will find that I came here wanting to be friends. You will see that I extended my hand in friendship only to have it spat on by punks. All I wanted was to find some really good coders, who could help me "fine tune" this counting function: httр://donblazys.com/on_рolygonal_numbers.рdf httр://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtoрic.рhр?id=17853 by determining how many of these numbers: httр://oeis.org/A090466 there are under some number But instead of either taking up the challenge or politely declining to do so, the denizens of this forum began insulting and "dogging" me ! And so I decided to leave this forum.... but after I left, I started getting e-mails asking me to come back... But when I did come back, the moderators changed the original title of this thread to what it is now, and assigned to me that "avatar" that you see. And so I decided to "play along with the joke" and began posting "in the same spirit" as everyone else here. And the rest, as they say, is history, This thread still became very popular even though I was now labeled a "crank". You see, topics that are wrong are both stupid and boring and nobody even reads, much less posts on such topics. But my topics, on the other hand, are very popular, and people can't wait to read and post on them, because they happen to be both true and correct. Don. |

I wrote code for your counting function which was many times faster than your rpevious efforts. I gave you that code and I ran it for several cpu-days, thereby extending your tables substantially. Paul. P.S. I am not hiding behind a pseudonym. My name is a very loosely kept secret indeed and even the quickest Google search will find it. My use of "Xilman" is so that a Google search on that name will find my stuff, uncluttered with that produced by all the other "Paul Leyland"s around the world. |

some great coding and the extended tables that you provided helped tremendously. I posted a link to my "Polygonal Number Counting Function" thread in the "Math Is Fun" forum, so that you can see some of the the progress that was made and that our efforts were worth it, but that link was probably disabled by the moderators of this funky forum. Credit for all "previous efforts" goes to other coders. I myself am not a coder. (I don't even own a computer.) Credit for breaking your record and determining goes to Lars Blomberg. Between you, Lars, myself and a few "anonymous" coders, we have given mankind its first and only counting function for polygonal numbers of order greater than 2, and since polygonal numbers are important to string theory as well as number theory, our work may shed some much needed light on both areas of investigation. I have several other results that I would like to post, such as a naturally occuring "scale" which seems to show how the Fine Structure Constant "runs" at different energies, and involves an utterly mysterious "shift" at the energy level of the electron. Giving your code to me is useless, because, like I said, I am not a coder. Please give your code to someone who has the computing power to determine even higher values of as that would allow me to complete, or at least further refine the counting function. Maybe that's asking too much, but this is, after all, mathematical territory that has never been explored! We are the first! Don |

answering a question, the "professional" math community gives each other "lollypops" in the forms of "awards", "medals", "prizes" and other meaningless "rewards" for answering questions. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...dKAwZ-aKUNX2i9 There is no "glory" in mathematics, and my only motivation is curiosity. Think about it. Perhaps the biggest "star" in mathematics today is Andrew Wiles, but I don't see him among throngs of "screaming fans". Indeed, most people don't even know who he is, and many of the few who do tend to view him as a rather boring "nerd". Perhaps that is why the "professional" math community gave him several "lollypops", to "make up" for that and to make him "feel good"! Grigori Perelman, on the other hand and in stark contrast to Wiles, turned down several such "lollypops", including a "million dollar lollypop", for solving the Poincare conjecture, telling that "professional" math community that he didn't care about or want any of their "lollypops", and that they can go ahead and suck on those "lollypops" themselves! So, while Wiles is sucking on his "lollypops", I am siding with Perelman. I too couldn't care less about the "professional" math community or their silly "lollypops"! As far as I'm concerened, they can keep their funny money "hundred thousand dollar lollypop" and "go shopping" like the "girly men" that they are! I never asked you to take my proof to a professor of mathematics, nor will I ever ask anyone to do so. Here's why. Several very high ranking professors of mathematics, (one of them with Phd's in both physics and math), did take my proof to other members of their math departments, only to be chided and ridiculed without mercy! Their careers were actually beginning to suffer as word got around their campuses that they were siding with me! That really made me "sick to my stomach" because both of these professors are fine men who didn't deserve that kind of treatment. I felt horrible about what happened to them because of me and told them both that I will go on alone because I don't have a math career to protect. I recently told a young student, who is very close to getting his degree the very same thing. Professor "B.B." (if you read this, then you know who you are.) explained to me that the real problem is that the vast majority of mathematicians simply can't handle the fact that the identity: precludes the substitution of and thereby irrefutably demonstrates that Peano's "symmetry axiom of equality", as well as the related "substitution axiom of equality" are both badly flawed and that Hilbert's second problem must therefore be answered accordingly... in the negative! You see Mark, the most important part of a "proof by contradiction" is of course, the contradiction! The rest are just details and merely a superficial matter of convention and presentation. I can easily re-rwite my proof to accomodate and nullify your "objections", but I won't, because frankly, I don't expect you or most of the "professional" math community to overcome your own incredulity regarding my negation of Peano's axioms. Thus, I am now showing you, along with everybody else here, only the contradiction, which solves Hilbert's second problem by demonstrating that Peano's axioms are badly flawed. So, here again is the question that should convince you all that the symmetry and substitution axioms are badly flawed and should not be taught in school. Given the identity: can we substitute "LaurV" says: Quote:

are not hiding behind fake names say No! And thus, the consensus is leaning in the direction that those axioms are indeed badly flawed! Does anyone else here have the courage to simply answer yes or no without any commentary whatsoever? |
