Line 1: ==Is this task ready for promotion to non draft task status?== --[[User:Nigel Galloway\|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway\|talk]]) 21:26, 16 June 2019 (UTC) == Something seems to be missing here... == Line 109 ⟶ 111: ::::::: In our p=13 Fp world, the square roots of -6, or 7 simply do not exist. And - I never said it is the same - it is an analogy i feel useful to try to understand things , the square root of -1 do not exists either (in R) . --[[User:G.Brougnard\|G.Brougnard]] ([[User talk:G.Brougnard\|talk]]) 16:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC) ::::::::: Analogies are fine. And they can be useful for describing algorithms. But that does not mean that they are always adequate descriptions. --[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm\|talk]]) 19:18, 28 March 2016 (UTC) :::::::::: Cipolla must be happy to see at least two implementations of his algorithm. He had serious doubts about its validity. :-) --[[User:G.Brougnard\|G.Brougnard]] ([[User talk:G.Brougnard\|talk]]) 15:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
