    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenstein's_criterion

    Consider the polynomial Q(x) = 3x 4 + 15x 2 + 10.In order for Eisenstein's criterion to apply for a prime number p it must divide both non-leading coefficients 15 and 10, which means only p = 5 could work, and indeed it does since 5 does not divide the leading coefficient 3, and its square 25 does not divide the constant coefficient 10.

    An early example of an ineffective result was J. E. Littlewood's theorem of 1914, [1] that in the prime number theorem the differences of both ψ(x) and π(x) with their asymptotic estimates change sign infinitely often. [2] In 1933 Stanley Skewes obtained an effective upper bound for the first sign change, [3] now known as Skewes' number.

    In mathematics, certain kinds of mistaken proof are often exhibited, and sometimes collected, as illustrations of a concept called mathematical fallacy.There is a distinction between a simple mistake and a mathematical fallacy in a proof, in that a mistake in a proof leads to an invalid proof while in the best-known examples of mathematical fallacies there is some element of concealment or ...

    For the claim that F 1 is consistent has form "for all numbers n, n has the decidable property of not being a code for a proof of contradiction in F 1". If F 1 were in fact inconsistent, then F 2 would prove for some n that n is the code of a contradiction in F 1.
