Prime
Numbers
An unpredictable series
Most numbers behave according to simple, clear rules.
However, prime numbers are a real anomaly: they appear
wherever they want to, without prior warning, in an
apparently chaotic fashion and without following any pattern.
And the worst of it is that they cannot be ignored
-
they are
essential to arithmetic and, to a certain extent, all mathematics.
