- Dirchlet's Theorem, posted by the webmaster on 15/03/08 at 18:40
Prof. Thomason's hand-out from his talk on Dirichlet's theorem is now available here.
Dirichlet's theorem states that, if a and b are coprime integers then there are infinitely many primes of the form am+b. This note discusses a simple way to approach this theorem, what snags arise, how these snags naturally give rise to a modification, and how the modified approach leads to an actual proof. The note, including the proof itself, is aimed at first year undergraduates. - Under Construction, posted by the webmaster on 12/02/06 at 00:21
