Thanks for the feedback :)
Where would one go to release something like this? I don't have a university network to reach out to, nor do I have a network of mathematician friends. Should I create a PDF and post on ArXiv?
- ColinWright 8y agoIf you create a PDF and post on ArXiv, then tell me then I can post links to it on various math forums. You can make an account on mathstodon.xyz and post it there, post it on Twitter and tag a few mathematicians. Or email me - address is in my profile. As a quick sanity check, how have you checked it? I can possibly help with making it an accessible draft rather than trying to make it an academic paper. Being clear and engaging can be hard, but it's worth making the explanation readable rather than scholarly. For reference, I'm going off-line now for about 12 hours, but I'll respond when I can. Take your time.
- eezurr 8y agoAs it turns out, I created a slight variant of Wheel factorization. Surprisingly this did not up in any of the prime number/number theory articles I came across.
- ColinWright 8y agoThere is no shame in rediscovering an existing technique. It shows your thinking is sound. And you're right, that method is often glossed over as if unimportant, but the ideas resurface later in other sieving methods. Even so, of you have a variant I would be interested in seeing it. Would you email it to me? Address in my profile.
