In this volume we have endeavored to provide a middle ground – hopefully even a bridge – between “theory” and “experiment” in the matter of prime numbers. Of course, we speak of number theory and computer experiment. There are great books on the abstract properties of prime numbers.
Each of us working in the ?eld enjoys his or her favorite classics. But the experimental side is relatively new. Even though it can be forcefully put that computer science is by no means young, as there have arguably been four or ?ve computer “revolutions” by now, it is the case that the theoretical underpinnings of prime numbers go back centuries, even millennia. So, we believe that there is room for treatises based on the celebrated classical ideas, yet authored from a modern computational perspective.
