Modular inverse anniversary and reality check on modern discovery

Today marks a year from time I found out there was a direct way to calculate the modular inverse. Where yeah for people who wonder you now have a reality check on how hard it can be to get official recognition in modern world for discovery.

Yet has been HUGE in terms of impact on blog, where I have access to the web metrics where contrarily as usual the total numbers for visits don't shift much. So I end up focusing on things like linking behavior as reported by Google Webmaster Tools as one of the more important indicators.

For me? Is just more of the same as have been witnessing now for over a decade.

Have several major results at this level, and some well beyond. So I can cross compare.

For others? Yeah can notice how much you might have to do, if you ever wish to get official recognition for a mathematical result.

Consider, I found the first direct route to calculation of the modular inverse, which is the third primary way to calculate. My competition in this arena? Euler who figured out his totient function on top of a result known by Fermat, and ideas shared by Euclid related to calculation of the greatest common divisor.

So we are the three for the modular inverse now--me, Euler and Euclid.

Primary results at this level were supposedly all found, and apparently certain people who do not understand the web believe if they refuse to acknowledge they can discredit useful mathematics.

But we know better. The web has changed so much! Thankfully is the knowledge that is important and yeah, from multiple indicators that information rocked our world. And possibly changed much across the entire web itself. Useful mathematics gets used. Believe that.

My modular inverse is a 21st century result for a computer age, where information rules.

So cool. So marking first anniversary of the discovery of the PRIMARY way to calculate the modular inverse as human mathematics seems poised to shift into fully modular, for the first time in its existence.

Modular algebra rules numbers we now know.
