Timeline for Why are the only numbers $m$ for which $n^{m+1}\equiv n \bmod m$ also the only numbers such that $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{m}{n^m}\equiv 1 \bmod m$?

| Jan 3, 2016 at 14:58 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Włod, apparently, Dima is having a similar problem, meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2685/tex-bug-mod-and-pmod-gone | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 23:13 | comment | added | Steven Stadnicki | That's why I specifically suggested confirming whether the issue was localized and/or temporary, because a proper fix to the issue would have to be a MathJax fix. A post on the meta site would seem to me to be the best way of trying to figure out what was going on. "Fix the cause, not the symptom" (if a fix is needed at all), as it were. | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 23:11 | comment | added | Steven Stadnicki | @WłodzimierzHolsztyński : above and beyond what Mr. Myerson has said, 'tiny, trivial edits are discouraged' (quote from the FAQ: mathoverflow.net/help/privileges/edit ) - I appreciate that from your perspective it looked like you were correcting a problem, but (at least from my perspective) the issues that you were having with \pmod aren't an issue with this question specifically, and as such it makes little sense to edit this question to fix them - if anything it would make sense to search for all \pmod posts, and that would be highly disruptive. (more) | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 15:28 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Włod, they push this old question onto the front page – thereby pushing some newer question off the front page – for what may turn out to be no good reason. Also, they may run counter to the wishes of those whose posts are being edited. | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 13:37 | comment | added | Włodzimierz Holsztyński | @StevenStadnicki, could you educate me what harm did my edits cause in this thread? (Indeed, I am not knowledgable about these issues). | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 11:28 | comment | added | Steven Stadnicki | @WłodzimierzHolsztyński Whatever the issue with pmod might be, it's worth confirming whether it is localized and/or temporary before making wholesale edits such as these. | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 6:04 | comment | added | Włodzimierz Holsztyński | I don't understand the sentence about $\ 1\ 2\ 6\ 42\ 1806$ (when $n=m$ then every such $n$ or $m$ works?). | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 5:57 | comment | added | Włodzimierz Holsztyński | Only \bmod seems to work (of the four operations above). | |
| Jan 2, 2016 at 5:54 | comment | added | Włodzimierz Holsztyński | $\LaTeX$ seem to play up, thus let me test mod, bmod, pmod, pod. *** $a\equiv v \mod{\theta}$ *** $a\bmod b$ *** $a\equiv v \pmod{\theta}$ *** $a\eqiv v\pod{\theta}$. *** This drives me crazy!!! | |
