    It's interesting his experience of disregarding what others advise him.
    I work as a software developer and countless times when looking at a problem people have told me I am going down the wrong path and it turned out that I was on the exactly correct path.

    Wow. Listening to James describe how his mind works and his obsessive nature, it was as if he was talking about me. I have never heard anyone else talk about this.
    Now all I have got to do is learn to add up…well…sort of!

    Is there somewhere I can read up on the building blocks aspect of prime numbers and why this is important/interesting? Like they are building blocks via multiplication. Are they the only set of numbers that you can multiply together to produce all other integers?

      I Found years ago a book in paperback by John Derbyshire with title "Prime Obsession" which proved very light but instructive.
      It is a math book that reads like a mystery novel.

      I mean of course you can always add a composite number to the primes and they still generate all integers. (Ie, every number is a product of primes, so its also a product of primes, while also allowing another composite). I suppose that the smallest set with the property you're asking for are the primes. This is because if you have a set A which is not the primes, then there is a prime P which is not in A. Then since P is prime, it cannot be written as (a*b) in N, so it cannot be written as (a*b) in A, as A is a subset of N. So then P is not a product of elements of A. Hope that helps!

    They seem rather common, relatable and friendly (and dare it be said, modest?); traits far too rare amongst intellectuals nowadays.

      Well at least the 270 digit composite has both prime factors ending in 1 which will make it easier when I factor it! Ha Ha Ha!

    As long as the universe is infinite ♾, so is the numbers of primes. It would take a bit of time to add them all up😂

  • @bobjerk2492
    @bobjerk2492 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I don't like his use of the phrases "building-blocks", "chemical compound (molecule)" and "constituent atoms" to describe the function of factors in multiplication. A complete chemical compound contains the SUM of its atoms in a new arrangement. Factors however, when multiplied together, result in the fabrication of consituent parts fabricated from nowhere which did not exist before. It also does not work with primes since 1 x 7 = 7 but has 2 parts which add up to 1 part, OR 8 parts depending on how far one stretches the concept.

      That often results from students using symbols in a way that , when they begin study of another field that uses a semantically different symbolical wordset , needs , perhaps for their first time , to contend with puns and ambiguities in what they assume is a merged and dis-ambiguated set of commonly understood pairings of meaning to symbolical form while the wordset is actually a "hot mess" of ambiguities . In 1970s USA , some university students who were studying from texts using inherited technical notational standards had such problems when studying both classical physics and what was to them a new standard in the language of chemistry-related formally standardized symbolisms .
