Searching for primes in the digits of pi
Many people are fascinated by pi. Vast amounts of human and computer resources have been spent producing billions of its digits. Similarly, many people are intrigued by primes. How many primes are there within the digits of pi? How many can we expect to find? We present the results of some computer searches and develop a theory to predict how many of these primes extensive computer searches are likely to find. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
