For those people who like prime generating functions, number theory and programming: http://devalco.de/quadratic_prime_sieves.pdf Comments, feedback and improvements are welcome. Have a lot of fun by reading the book. Bernhard Last fiddled with by bhelmes on 2018-09-17 at 19:44

It is autumn in Germany and the weather is not so pleasant, i miss a little bit the sun and the primes. Greetings from the algebraic numbers, Bernhard

I am finding my time consumed by my new responsibilities as a father as of this September. I hope to read at least parts of it, and that when I do I will find it lucid and enlightening.

I skimmed it but had too many mispellings and less latex than I felt was needed for consistency. might make my own slightly different version with the editor I have and see what comes of it.

If you have thoughts, notes, or a rework as you describe, post them (maybe here) -- they might help me or others follow the work better.

^ is used a lot, and isn't put in math mode most of the time.

I is often uncapitalized.

A few basic spelling differences from English.

The quote of Shanks, has a typo it seems.

The reused equations could be stored once in new commands, and called when needed.

code could be bolded, or use a syntax highlighting package like lstlist; I believe MuPad is supported. Code takes up 19 of the 70 pages before references ( aka ~27%).

Okay may have to condense it. My LaTeX writing app uses a site, and it complains about it it seems. Though to be honest, I don't agree with the claim of all factors being of form $2n^2-1$

All factors f | 2n²-1, this polynomial builds a mathematical ring,
if f(n)|2n²-1then (2n²-1) / f(n) is of the form 2m²-1 or equal 1

okay I misinterpretted it, but I got past my earlier limitation, turns out you can't forget the braces on a blank section call.

Are you sure that this was the latest paper, you worked on ?

It is sometimes amazing how much mathematical work is blowing in the cold and fresh winter air.

Besides it is not the actual missing response which makes me some headache, i am afraid that my mathematical progress is not convincing other.
