the imaginary land of numbers… Yes‚ numbers! I bet that would’ve never come to mind. Which brings me to the question: Who thought of them and why? In 50 A.D.‚ Heron of Alexandria studied the volume of an impossible part of a pyramid. He had to find √(81-114) which‚ back then‚ was insolvable. Heron soon gave up. For a very long time‚ negative radicals were simply deemed “impossible”. In the 1500’s‚ some speculation began to arise again over the square root of negative numbers. Formulas for solving

Random number tables have been used in statistics for tasks such as selected random samples. This was much more effective than manually selecting the random samples (with dice‚ cards‚ etc.). Nowadays‚ tables of random numbers have been replaced by computational random number generators. Tables of random numbers have the desired properties no matter how chosen from the table: by row‚ column‚ diagonal or irregularly. The first such table was published by a student of Karl Pearson’s in 1927‚ and

------------------------------------------------- Prime number A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example 5 is prime‚ as only 1 and 5 divide it‚ whereas 6 is composite‚ since it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes the central role of primes in number theory: any integer greater than
