A note to new subscribers

by John on March 9, 2010

Thank you for subscribing to my blog. I wanted to say a little about the blog for those of you who have just subscribed recently.

I post a little more than one article a day on average on a variety of topics. Here’s a list of some of the most popular posts by category.

This blog is also available as a podcast. The audio is automatically generated. The quality is good for ordinary prose but not as good for other content.

Here’s my contact info. If you submit a comment that never appears, please send me a note. I get thousands of spam comments, and so I filter spam aggressively. Sometimes a legitimate comment gets blocked. I enjoy hearing from you. I learn a lot from the comments.

I have several Twitter accounts, one personal account and six daily tip accounts. I keep the volume low on the daily tip accounts: one scheduled tip per day plus an occasional unscheduled tweet.

John,

Can the items you recently posted to AlgebraFact, regarding the infinite number of primes of form km+1 and similar forms, be used as an alternate proof of the infinity of primes? Or do they already depend on that fact?

Yes, I believe that the proof of Dirichlet’s theorem does not assume first that there are infinitely many primes.
