Talk:Nontotient

message: It's easily proven that no heteromecic number with its second constituent factor being a prime can be a nontotient. I have a feeling that no heteromecic number is a nontotient, even when neither of the two constituent factors is a prime. I also have a feeling that this has already been proven long before I was born. PrimeFan 21:20, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:Hi, I authored some Dutch pages. I invented some translations (not knowing some mathematicians inside parlor). At least "Indicator van n" is more common than "Euler's totient function", making indicator a more probable correct translation of totient than totient. That might leave the translation of nontotient open for questioning. I do have to reread Beginselen van de Getallenleer by P.Wijdenes (published 1949) again to see if I could find a trace of concepts like nontotient, cototient, noncototient, highly totient and highly cototient.

message: Wikipedia's mission is to report facts, not produce them. However, for Wikipedias in some languages, it will be necessary to coin new terms. I see nothing wrong with coining new terms and using these new terms in Talk pages and edit summaries. But the new term may be used in an actual article only after it has been proven that the language did not have an existing term for the concept, and the new term has proven itself with experts and aficionados alike.
Having thus put my misgivings out in the open, I will join this effort of coining words to translate "nontotient." Robert Happelberg 13:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: "and every odd number has a multiple which is a nontotient." If all odd numbers except 1 are nontotient, then any odd number can be multiplied by three to get an odd number larger than 1, thus nontotient, and the sentence is proved trivially, adding no value to the article. Was this supposed to say even multiple? 78.0.239.200 (talk) 19:03, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
