Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Pulitzer Prizewinning magazines stories of mathematical explorations show that inspiration strikes haphazardly, revealing surprising solutions and exciting discoverieswith a foreword by James GleickThese stories from Quanta Magazine map the routes of mathematical exploration, showing readers how cuttingedge research is done, while illuminating the productive tension between conjecture and proof, theory and intuition. The stories show that, as James Gleick puts it in the foreword, inspiration strikes willynilly. One researcher thinks of quantum chaotic systems at a bus stop; another suddenly realizes a path to proving a theorem of number theory while in a friend's backyard; a statistician has a bathroom sink epiphany and discovers the key to solving the Gaussian correlation inequality. Readers of The Prime Number Conspiracy, says Quanta editorinchief Thomas Lin, are headed on breathtaking intellectual journeys to the bleeding edge of discovery strapped to the narrative rocket of humanity's neverending pursuit of knowledge.Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting, Quanta is the only popular publication that offers indepth coverage of the latest breakthroughs in understanding our mathematical universe. It communicates mathematics by taking it seriously, wrestling with difficult concepts and clearly explaining them in a way that speaks to our innate curiosity about our world and ourselves. Readers of this volume will learn that prime numbers have decided preferences about the final digits of the primes that immediately follow them (the conspiracy of the title); consider whether math is the universal language of nature (allowing for a unified theory of randomness); discover surprising solutions (including a pentagon tiling proof that solves a centuryold math problem); ponder the limits of computation; measure infinity; and explore the eternal question Is mathematics good for you?ContributorsAriel Bleicher, Robbert Dijkgraaf, Kevin Hartnett, Erica Klarreich, Thomas Lin, John Pavlus, Siobhan Roberts, Natalie WolchoverCopublished with Quanta Magazine
