Prime Recreations: An Olio of Curios about Prime Numbers

By Bruce Pyne

Bruce has created a work totally unique among books of this type. He chose to number his chapters with prime numbers and cover material not seen anywhere else. Particularly interesting are his chapters on digit patterns and primes forming triangles. Nearly half of the length of the book is devoted to eleven (a prime number) chapters of lists of primes. Here, the reader will find a delightful and motley mélange of unlikely subjects, many with clever titles, and all alphabetically arranged. Included are primes in sports, stock market primes, prime temperatures, and prime Zip codes. The final section of the book, which the author designates as Part C, contains a complete cross-reference of primes found in the book, additional tables, a glossary, a fairly extensive bibliography, and a multisection index. Any lover of primes and lists should add this book to their personal library.
