Book Synopsis
We have been curious about numbers - and prime numbers - since antiquity. One notable direction this century in the study of primes has been the influx of ideas from probability. This book intends to provide insights into the prime numbers and to describe how a sequence so tautly determined can incorporate such a striking amount of randomness.
