A Prime Purposal

[IDMclean]

To the Moderators and Administrators, I purpose that the many prime number threads be merged and perhaps stickied. To prevent duplication, I suggest that the sticky be rendered visible in the "Computer Science" sub-forum and the "Physics and Mathematics" sub-forum.

 

Here's the relevant threads I could find:

Prime Numbers How High Can You

Prime Numbers

Prime Suspects

PRMP - an algorithm for generating the primes using only “+1” and “=”

portions of "Halting Problem for Alexander"

And portions of "Finally Learning C++"

 

To Alexander, CraigD, Qfwfq, Turtle, and et all,

I purpose we form a research group dedicated to: hunt prime numbers, test numerical primality in various bases; discover, categorize, and catalog prime number heuristics.

 

Moderators, feel free to move/edit/remove this post once a decision has been rendered.

Discussion among the moderator and admin teams is in progress ...

 

Thanks for the feedback, and please stay tuned to this thread. :confused:
