Happy editing! Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
I used to post as Virginia-American, but my computer died and I didn't have the current password.
I majored in math at the U of Va. but dropped out, and am now retired from programming computers. However, I have kept up my interest in math, especially number theory, as a hobby.
I have made a few edits to misc. articles about number theory, and I have done major edits to the articles about quadratic reciprocity and allied topics.
