About the author

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.

close enough. It touches on hypotheses that I had never heard of and pursues unproven conjectures with great clarity. This is a book to be read with great care and you will be happy learning about the HAPPY Primes less than 100, beginning with the first happy prime: 7
I think this book could be greatly improved by being slimmed down and sold for $ 9.95 or less. I would never pay the list price again.
I think the idea behind the book is a good one, but 2.5 stars is the highest I can rate it.

61 - the first prime overlooked by Mersenne in his erroneous list of exponents
to
29 - TWENTY NINE can be written out with exactly 29 toothpicks.
Not a book you would read. Something for a doctor's waiting cabinet or for the toilet but at times amusing.
