CERTAIN quadratic series abound in prime numbers 1. Take, for example, the following Sequence in which the consecutive differences are 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. These are all prime numbers; the next term in ...

A pair of mathematicians appears to have discovered that there are unexpected patterns in the prime-number sequence — previously thought to behave more randomly. A prime is a number that is divisible ...

One of the curious properties of mathematics is its beauty. But exactly what mathematicians mean by beauty is hard to capture. Perhaps the most famous example is Euler’s relation, e iπ + 1 = 0, which ...

A pair of mathematicians appear to have discovered that there are unexpected patterns in the prime number sequence — previously thought to behave more randomly. A prime is a number only divisible by 1 ...
