“Prime numbers is what is left when you have taken all the patterns away.” — Mark Haddon Copy Share Image
“I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all… — Mark Haddon Copy Share Image
“Because prime numbers are fucking serious, man. Some serious shit. They can make you lose it. They’re like sirens. They call you in with… — Matt Haig Copy Share Image
“For example, to a mathematician, the number 28 is really 2×2×7, which is known as the prime decomposition of 28. Prime numbers are, in… — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“Technical speaking one is a beautiful number. One is its own factorial, its own square, its own cube. It is neither a prime number nor a composite number. It is the first two numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. It is the empty product. Any number raised to the zero power is one. It might be argued that one is the… — Michelle Richmond Copy Share
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, but 9 is not prime; -in this incarnation. — Mahatma Gandhi Copy Share Image
“and the number is six hundred and sixty-six,” that is, six times a hundred, six times ten, and six units. [He gives this] as… — The Church Fathers Copy Share Image
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is the next prime after 8. — Charlie Chaplin Copy Share Image
“Along with working on the Basel problem, Euler realized that adding an infinite sequence of reciprocal powers for all whole numbers will give you the same answer as multiplying together an infinite sequence of fractions which use only the prime numbers. So the zeta function can be written as two different equations, one of which relies only on the prime… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“I was believing your kind were all dead!' Warvitch bellowed at the minotaur, over the sithkall's choking death growls. 'It will be a great… — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“Despite their ubiquity on the number line, transcendentals are surprisingly hard to pin down. It took until 1873 to prove that e was transcendental, making it the first number we knew for definite was. The poster-child of maths, pi, didn't join the transcendental fold until 1882. Even today, we know that at least one of e + pi and e… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“The proof in 1882 that pi is a transcendental number put a 2,000 year old problem to rest: for any given circle, can you draw a square of the same surface area using a compass and a straight edge? Since 1882, we know that no, you can't. To draw a square the area of a circle you need to be… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“The compact disc may now be outdated technology, but a lot of music albums are still released on CD. A standard 700-megabyte CD is actually 703.125 megabytes (a rare case of the music industry giving something extra away for free), which is a total of 5,898,240,000 1s and 0s. By my calculations, the number of possible different CDs in base-10… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“The zeta function is the sum of an infinite sequence of inverse powers.” — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“At a very rough estimate, the domino computer we built took six hours to set up and run, which means it could do four calculations per day, if you had a team of domino-computer builders working around the clock. This is a terrible rate of one calculation every 21,600 seconds, equating to a processor speed of 46.3 microhertz. Which makes… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“In our current number system, if you multiply 111,111,111 by itself, you get the rather pleasing 12,345,678,987,654,321 (all the digits count up from 1… — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“Much as it took Lucas to revolutionize the search for Mersennes primes and Lord Kelvin to introduce new ways to look for space-filling-shapes, I think we're still waiting for the key mathematical techniques needed to fully understand knots. I suspect a new generation of mathematicians will have to go to university and become knot theorists on order to give us… — Matt Parker Copy Share
“For DNA to reproduce, it needs to unzip itself down the middle, and the topology of the dna chain dictates which knots are formed… — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“To this day, the Clay Mathematics Institute's bounty of $1 million for anyone who can prove that all the non-trivial zeroes of the zeta… — Matt Parker Copy Share Image
“The Riemann Hypothesis states that all the non-trivial zeroes of the zeta function are on this line. If we can prove the Riemann Hypothesis is true, then we'll also have proved the method for counting the prime numbers. In some weird twisted act of mathematical logic, at a fundamental level the alignment of these zeroes stems from the same logic… — Matt Parker Copy Share

Although the prime numbers are rigidly determined, they somehow feel like experimental data. — Timothy Gowers Copy Share Image
“Mathematicians call them twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other, almost neighbors, but between them there is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching. Numbers like 11 and 13, like 17 and 19, 41 and 43. If you have the patience to go on counting, you discover that these pairs gradually become… — Paolo Giordano Copy Share
Twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other, almost neighbors, but between them there is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching. If you go on counting, you discover that these pairs gradually become rarer, lost in that silent, measured space made only of ciphers. You develop a distressing presentiment that the pairs… — Paolo Giordano Copy Share
Aesthetics - rather than reason - shapes our thought processes. First comes aesthetics, then logic. 'Thinking in Numbers' is not about an attempt to… — Daniel Tammet Copy Share Image
The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers. — Bill Gates Copy Share Image
My work on prime gaps lead to lots of media coverage, some good, some bad, some ugly, and some merely ridiculous. For example, a… — Daniel Goldston Copy Share Image
'A Perfect Place' is character-driven. The director for that wanted a couple of identifiable themes with a bunch of variations. That is what I… — Mike Patton Copy Share Image
“I’m not sure what prime numbers have to do with anything,” I say in a gentle voice. “Prime numbers have to do with everything. But to clarify, that’s what I imagine falling in love is like and then staying married. You start out as low twin primes and as time goes on, if you manage to defy the statistical odds… — Julie Buxbaum Copy Share
It never happens that, when we go home and open the refrigerator, we see all infinitely many prime numbers there. — Kato Copy Share

“Twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other, almost neighbors, but between them there is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching.

You encounter increasingly isolated primes, lost in that silent, measured space made only of… — Paolo Giordano Copy Share
![“and the number is six hundred and sixty-six,” that is, six times a hundred, six times ten, and six units. [He gives this] as a summing up of the whole of that apostasy which has taken place during six thousand years. 3.
