Re: Prime Numbers

Sexy numbers are sweet. Linear Algebra I next term will be cool. And lol "Calculus I for Honours Mathematics" this term, next term I have "Calculus II for Honours Mathematics". They are very creative with course names.

Lol xD You'll love linear algebra! If you like to prove, you will definitely benefit and admire the class. You're currently taking Algebra so if you like algebra, linear algebra is fun

Are there infinitely many sets of prime numbers that are only 2 away from each other, i.e. 11 & 13?

I think this is one of the most striking areas of math in terms of research. They refer to this as "twin primes." Currently they are not sure how many "twin primes" exist, as far as I know.

Re: Prime Numbers

there's a function that defines the density of primes around any number, and iirc it goes down linearly

Algebra is my favourite class. I'm excited

Re: Prime Numbers

Infinite amount of "odd" numbers*

[insert same set as aperson's but with 3 as the base]
