Montgomery happened to find strikingly similar behavior in the prime numbers— specifically, the correlations between the ...

Sept. 6 (UPI) --According to a new study, the distribution of prime numbers is similar to the positioning of atoms inside some crystalline materials. When scientists at Princeton University compared ...

For centuries, prime numbers have captured the imaginations of mathematicians, who continue to search for new patterns that help identify them and the way they’re distributed among other numbers.

Mathematicians were able to discover a pattern for what has long been considered very random: prime numbers. The surprising discovery also suggests that scientists need to be a little cautious when it ...

Mathematicians have taken a step forward in understanding patterns within the primes, numbers divisible only by 1 and themselves. According to the new work, the population of prime numbers contains an ...

Prime numbers, the "atoms of arithmetic," have captivated mathematicians for centuries. These numbers, divisible only by themselves and one, appear deceptively random yet hide intricate patterns.

Jacob Aron discusses patterns in prime numbers (19 March, p 12). This prompted me to wonder whether the patterns would persist if you considered the last two digits in a prime number rather than the ...

Las Vegas(KLAS)-The new drama “Prime Target” features a brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks (played by Leo Woodall), who is on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding ...

On March 20, American-Canadian mathematician Robert Langlands received the Abel Prize, celebrating lifetime achievement in mathematics. Langlands’ research demonstrated how concepts from geometry, ...
