Description
The immensely popular Guinness Book of World Records lacked a chapter on prime numbers. The author's popular "The Book of Prime Number Records", however, filled this need. It is devoted to presenting records concerning prime numbers, but it also explores the interface between computations and the theory of prime numbers. The book contains an up-to-date historical presentation of the main problems pertaining to prime numbers, as well as many fascinating topics, including primality testing. It is written in a light and humorous language and it is thoroughly accessible to everyone. This abridged version of "The Book of Prime Numbers" is especially designed to avoid technical material and to be understood by everyone interested in numbers. This monograph on number theory, algorithms is intended for undergraduate students of mathematics, teachers, and people interested in prime numbers.
