Yes I know. Well except that you need to prove convergence
of the result, which might or mightn't be quite so simple
- I can't remember if it was easy or tricky for that.

I could look it up or figure it out from first principles
if I needed to. But I remember it was rather neat
the way all the prime numbers came together
in just the right way to reconsitute all the
ns :-). One of those things in maths that you can only
call beautiful. I'm sure there must be sites that
work through it if anyone is interested.
Not been my field at all since then,
though I enjoyed number theory at univ.
as undergraduate and might almost have
gone on to do that instead of logic if
things had turned out a bit differently.

Well if Gene feels like explaining
the connection in some easy to understand
way I'm interested. I know you are
doing interesting stuff over
in tuning math - well some certainly
would interest me anyway though I'm
not so interested in other areas
- but I just don't have time to get up to speed
with all the programming (mainly)
and a few other things I'm doing,
which have higher priority for me at the
moment.

thanks,

Robert
