User talk:Senojesse

Welcome to ProofWiki! Since you're new, you may want to check out the general help page. It's the best first stop to see how things are done (next to reading proofs, of course!). Please feel free to contribute to whichever area of mathematics interests you, either by adding new proofs, or fixing up existing ones. If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of the administrators, or post your question on the questions page.

Here are some useful pages to help get you started:
 * Community Portal - To see what needs to be done, and keep up to date with the community.
 * Recent Changes - To keep up with what's new, and what's being added.
 * Check out our house style if you are keen on contributing.
 * Main Page talk - This is where most of the main discussions regarding the direction of the site take place. If you have any ideas, please share them!

Edits on Collatz conjecture
Please do not discuss the question in the page itself. Please do it in the talk page. HINT: See the "Discussion" link at the top of the Collatz Conjecture/Supposed Proof page.

You will need to learn the protocol and conventions around the use of a wiki before you are going to be able to contribute meaningfully on.

And I'm sorry, but your analysis of the Collatz conjecture is flawed. Backing up your statements by "It is a fact!" is not a proof. --prime mover (talk) 06:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * If you would do us the courtesy of writing your contributions in $\LaTeX$, then this would be greatly appreciated.


 * It would also do you well to make yourself familiar with how proofs are structured.


 * You may also wish to consider taking a course on number theory, so as to give you the chance of understanding some of the concepts involved.


 * Bottom line: there is nothing in the structure of a Collatz sequence that suggests that any number form (be it $4 n + 1$ or $4 n + 3$ or divisible by $4$ or divisible by $2$ or whatever) is more common than any other form. Just because (and this is still only a hypothesis) it appears as though all the numbers are eventually "covered" in the set of ALL Collatz Sequences does not mean that every number appears equally often in the sum collection of all those Collatz sequences..


 * Mind you, your whole argument is made much more difficult to follow because of your inability of refusal to mark your code up so as to make it easily readable. Please make the effort to do this. The world has moved on a little since the days of typewriters. --prime mover (talk) 08:43, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
