Prime Numbers and their Mysterious Distribution (Prime Number Theorem)

Primes are the building blocks of math. But just how mysterious are they? Our study of prime numbers dates back to the ancient Greeks who first recognized that certain numbers can't be turned into rectangles, or that they can't be factored into any way. Over the years prime numbers have

My Mega Favorite Number has 39,540 digits. (MegaFavNumbers)

My contribution to MegaFavNumbers. 20 years ago, I found a 39,540 digit prime number using 3 known primes from the list of the (then) 5,000 largest proven primes as seed numbers. At the time, it became the 236th largest proven prime number. It has since been blown into obscurity on the l

Primes, Complexity and Computation: How Big Number theory resolves the Goldbach Conjecture

This lecture, which begins at 2:45, shows how Big Number theory, together with an understanding of prime numbers and their distribution resolves the Goldbach Conjecture, which states that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes. Notions of complexity and computation,
