The Pattern of the Primes - Guy Vine

A brief introduction to the prime numbers is followed by the solution to the hitherto unsolved problem of the pattern of the primes. This elusive pattern , so long hidden from view is here brought into the light. Other classic unsolved prime problems also have light shed on them too: Do Prime Twins like (29, 31) go on for ever? What about patterns like (11, 13, 17, 19)? The even number 30 is equal to 13+17 but can every even number be split into two primes like this? Goldbach's Conjecture was "Yes" but he failed to prove it and so has everyone else to date. Can a formula take a number, say 26, and give back 97 which is the 26th prime? This book explains how it can be done. A brief look at both Cryptography and the Factors of Numbers concludes the book.
