New bug?

Re: New bug?
The error duplicates here. Copy my text below, and see if you can move the 2nd link up into the first paragraph.
Any (elementary) number theory, discrete math, or intro to proofs book will contain material on modular arithmetic. If you want to just learn modular arithmetic, I would go with sources on the web. Rutguers has an introduction, but there are

Works as soon as I put the links on two different lines.

Re: New bug?
I get the same thing. Two links cannot be on same line.
Will have a look ... but until then just put extra links on new lines

Re: New bug?
Hi MathsisFun;
I have also found a small irregularity:
When I try to enter this authors name, the name is on the top of this page:
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk … ebras.html
the filter defeats me.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
