The Impossibility of Trisecting an Angle with Straightedge and
... Today, the proof that straightedge–and–compass trisection is impossible is usually done using algebraic methods. The following fact, which can be found in any good abstract algebra textbook, is needed. Theorem A: If a real number α is constructible using only straightedge and compass, then α satisfi ...

... Lemma 5: Let m b e a natural number prime to 10. For each integer i from 0 to (m -1) / 2, let us write rt for the residue of 10/ when reduced mod m, and let n be the number of T-'S that are greater than mil. With this notation, n is an even number iff m is like 1. Proof: Numerical checks show that t ...

... We can split the odd primes into two distinct groups: those of the form 4k + 1 (the first few being 5, 13, 17, 29, 37, . . .), and those of the form 4k + 3 (the first few being 3, 7, 11, 19, 23, . . .). Since we know there are infinitely many primes (and only one even prime!), at least one of these ...
