In the first paragraph there is a mention of 'as d goes to minus infinity' without defining what d is, or having used it in a previous sentence. You cannot do that in mathematics. Can anybody who understand what d is please extend this paragraph to make the statement well defined? Octonion (talk) 19:29, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The profusion of minus signs is confusing and possibly incorrect

"The complete list of fields with class number one is Q(√(−d)) with −d one of -1,-2,-3,-7,-11,-19,-43,-67,-163."

Either

"The complete list of fields with class number one is Q(√−d) with d one of 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163."

or

"The complete list of fields with class number one is Q(√d) with d one of 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163."

would be better. --MarSch 16:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Explaining the edit I just made) The story of the acceptance of Heegner's work is an interesting one, but I don't see how unattributed speculations pitting a "mere" high school teacher against members of the "elite mathematical establishment" are appropriate for a page on the class number problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.183.217 (talk) 07:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
