Talk:Famous Theorems of Mathematics/Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes

This page perpetuated a commonplace error: that Euclid's proof was by contradiction. In fact it was not. I've replaced most of the page. Many respectable mathematicians going back to Dirichlet in the 19th century have been guilty of this error. It was thoroughly refuted in my joint paper with Catherine Woodgold, which I have cited here. Michael Hardy (discuss • contribs) 20:10, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
