I take issue with the notation <math>\mathbb{Z}_n</math> for integers modulo ''n''. When ''n'' is prime, this notation is used for the ''p''-adic integers, which do not really have any other notation (well perhaps <math>\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}_p</math>, but that's not much different). --[[User:ComplexZeta|ComplexZeta]] 01:22, 27 June 2006 (EDT)
