Mathematics should be fun!

I have taught about prime numbers in Japan using Origami and on the web using music. I earned a PhD in Mathematics at UC Berkeley in 1984, and have taught mathematics at the University of Tennessee at Martin ever since. Much of my spare time is spent on The Prime Pages (http://primes.utm.edu) a collection of over 20,000 web pages on primes.

One of my recent projects is a book of prime number trivia based on the web collection The Prime Curios! (http://primes.utm.edu/curios/). This was coauthored with my good friend G. L. Honaker, Jr.
