I work on arithmetic problems about polynomials. Mainly over finite fields. details at a) ZBL: type gallardo, lu* or type: ai:gallardo.luis-h b) MR: type gallardo, lu* amusingly both results are not the same... c) click on ''Luis H.Gallardo'' in google scholar in order to have a third different but complementary result... check in MR "Luis H. Gallardo's profil" at what distance we are together ((you and me)) my Erdos number is: 3 *** try also: luis h gallardo in google... especially if you have no access to MR = Mathematical Reviews Database, ZBL = Zentralblatt MATH database. *** Es ist eine alte Geschichte, doch bleibt sie immer neu. *** The object of this ASCII page is to present my black cat: a) his name is "merlin" ((think to arthur king...)) b) he was born at "cabo de gatas" in south spain, close to Almeria. ((he speaks spanish, with an "andalou" accent)) c) he do not like at all "mathematics". d) when he put his hands in his trouser's pockets he found something inside... In french: "Il en a" or "Il n'est pas une mauviette". In chilean: "es un gato, no una porqueria". e) he is a chick magnet... cordially, luis ***
