First Brian Hayes wrote an excellent post about the remainders when primes are divided by other primes. Then I wrote a follow-on just focusing on the first part of his post. He mostly looked at pairs of primes, but I wanted to look in more detail at the first part of his post, simulating dice| John D. Cook
There are five Platonic (regular) solids: tetrahedron, 4 triangular sides hexahedron (i.e. cube), 6 square sides octahedron, 8 triangular sides dodecahedron, 12 pentagonal sides icosahedron, 20 triangular sides Each face of a Platonic solid must be a regular polygon and each face must be congruent. Also, the solid must be convex and the number of| John D. Cook
What exactly does it mean to say a number is PROBABLY prime?| John D. Cook
While the sequence of primes is very well distributed in the reduced residue classes (mod $q$), the distribution of pairs of consecutive primes among the permissible $ϕ(q)^2$ pairs of reduced residue classes (mod $q$) is surprisingly erratic. This paper proposes a conjectural explanation for this phenomenon, based on the Hardy-Littlewood conjectures. The conjectures are then compared to numerical data, and the observed fit is very good.| arXiv.org
