![]() This is just an interesting topic I've been thinking about recently.
In your opinion, do you think there are an infinite amount of prime numbers? Vote in the poll and share your opinion. I think this could make an interesting discussion ![]()

![]() There is an infinite amount of numbers. So there might as well be an infinite amount of prime numbers.

That is the question. I'm pretty torn myself. I voted yes, but I can see why you might say no. Gah, brain is fried. 1 limit approaching both infinity and 0 at the same time! Paradox?

![]() 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. |

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.
