But every once in a while comes a person to whom others feel called. Think Grothendieck. The...

The overall ``thinning out'' of the primes less than some number $latex {N}&fg=000000$, as $latex {N}&fg=000000$ increases, is well understood, and is demonstrated by the Prime Number Theorem (PNT). In its simplest form, PNT states that...
