Two mathematicians have found a strange pattern in prime numbers—showing that the numbers are not distributed as randomly as theorists often assume. “Every single person we’ve told this ends ...

Primes, the numbers divisible only by themselves and 1, ... Mathematicians shocked to find pattern in 'random' prime numbers. By Jacob Aron. 14 March 2016 ...

About a year ago, the theoretical chemist Salvatore Torquato met with the number theorist Matthew de Courcy-Ireland to explain that he had done something highly unorthodox with prime numbers, those ...

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously thought. A new analysis by Princeton University researchers has uncovered patterns in primes that are ...

ABSTRACT. A study on the randomness of the digits of π . Shu-Ju Tu and Ephraim Fischbach We apply a newly developed computational method, Geometric Random Inner Products (GRIP), to quantify the ...

The test generates a single number quantifying the amount of structure in the set — or, to put it differently, it quantifies how far the set is from being a set of random numbers. “The notion of ...
