Dirichlet Convolutions
Published:
An introduction to Dirichlet convolution, written the summer after my junior year of high school. I knew the Möbius function existed but deliberately didn’t look up its definition, so I could try to reconstruct it from what it had to do: invert the constant-one function under convolution. The write-up builds up from that.
Fields

This is part 3 of a three-part series, written in my junior year of high school, that works up to proving that (Z/pZ)× is cyclic: the multiplicative group of integers mod a prime has a generator. I was teaching myself group theory at the time and worked out the route on my own, so the proofs are mine rather than the textbook’s.
