We show how to prove a number theoretic inequality, originating from geometry, using an elementary approach.
About Me.
My name is Felix Fontein and I'm currently a software developer at
Dybuster AG. Until February 2014, I used to
be a postdoctoral fellow at the University of
Zurich. I'm working in the area of Computational Number Theory, in particular
on arithmetic in global fields, the infrastructure of such fields, computation of
regulators and fundamental units, and related areas. I studied at
University of Oldenburg and at the
University of Zurich, and was a postdoctoral
fellow at the University of Calgary before
going back to Zurich.
