Prime Numbers: The Most Mysterious Figures in Math

A fascinating journey into the mind-bending world of prime numbers.

Mathematicians have been asking questions about prime numbers for more than twenty-five centuries, and every answer seems to generate a new rash of questions.

Looking at the cover reminded me of...
my small contribution to the "research" on prime numbers :-)

One stereotype about us is we like and . I'm a “yes” and a “no”.

I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:

  • 17
  • 13
  • 7

17 is very special.

  • 17 is the 7th Prime
  • 1 is an odd number
  • 7 is an odd number
  • 17 is an odd number
  • 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us

13 is also special.

  • A Prime
  • An Odd
  • A Fibonacci number

And depending on whom you ask:

  • The 8th Fibonacci number
  • The 7th Fibonacci number

Ironically:

  • The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
  • My height is 175 cm or 5'75" to 5'85" (depending on whom you ask).
  • Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)

And I'm . ^_^


How about you? What two stereotypes is you and not you?

I was once involved with a Math Savant. He was also a sociopath and not on the Autism Spectrum.
Cold, manipulative and intellectually sexy .
When a boy tells you he’s an Ubermensch and a Master and can quite Also Spract Zarathustra it’s time to run, don’t walk, to the nearest exit .
He has a fetish for domination via Infintesimals and Set Theory .

I like prime numbers too. 1973 is a prime number. I was born in 1973.
