Prime Generating Formulas

We all know how hard it is to predict a formula for prime numbers! They have extremely uncertain pattern at various number ranges. Some prime numbers may have difference of hundreds, while few others are as close as possible. Mathematicians and computer scientists have worked very well for a long time to discover more prime numbers and tried hard to compute a unique formula. But as there are no certain patterns, it remains difficult to discover exactly the next prime number after a certain prime. There are still some ideas available which help mathematics majors predict patterns in prime numbers.

I have already discussed two such (flawed) ideas about prime numbers generation. You can revisit them:

Solving Integral Equations – (1) Definitions and Types

If you have finished your course in Calculus and Differential Equations, you should head to your next milestone: the Integral Equations. This marathon series (planned to be of 6 or 8 parts) is dedicated to interactive learning of integral equations for the beginners —starting with just definitions and demos —and the pros— taking it to the heights of problem solving.…

How Genius You Are?

Let have a Test: You need to make a calculation. Please do neither use a calculator nor a paper. Calculate everything “in your brain”. Take 1000 and add 40. Now, add another 1000. Now add 30. Now, add 1000 again. Add 20. And add 1000 again. And an additional 10.   So, You Got The RESULT!  Quicker you see the…

Test your counting skills with Branifyd game for Android

Without basic operations of counting, like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, it is not possible to imagine math problems. Counting is the base of human life. A student, whether he’s a math major or not, must be good at counting numbers.  The counting ability builds from experience and is definitely a time taking process.   Larger you have given time…
