This post is a notice to the math community. I do not plan on looking at replies nor do I plan on replying further in this thread. The current definition for algebraic integers is flawed in that it does not provide a complete ring. That definition depends on a polynomial P(x) of degree n with integer coefficients being monic so that you have P(x) = (x + a_1)...(x + a_n) but that is unbalanced as a complete ring must handle all non monic polynomials of degree n with integer coefficients to get P(x) = (a_1 x + b_1)...(a_n x + b_n) but in fact the a's and b's cannot here always be algebraic integers as I've shown in my paper "Advanced Polynomial Factorization" which can be found at http://groups.msn.com/AmateurMath which shows the limitations of the current definition. Universities are hereby enjoined to NO LONGER teach the mathematics that has been proven false. Failure to update their curriculum will be an act of fraud, and universities may face civil liabilities if they do continue teach it. As an interim plan given the time frame, I would think that universities may defer teaching certain mathematics, but I'd suggest they find a better solution. James Harris |
