Numbers

I know it's been a long time, but I'm back. Well, for now. No telling what life will be like once the baby comes!

I read an interesting (to me) article at sciencenews.org today. If numbers and patterns intrigue you, you may find it of interest as well. Now, if you're the kind of person who gets frustrated by theory/proofs without application, then don't read it. It's a "dramatic tale" of partition numbers, prime numbers, and the beauty of numbers. (Yes, I said the beauty of numbers.)

I usually find prime numbers a bit cold (like digits in Pi). But I was glad to see that Freeman Dyson was still alive.
