Mersenne conjectures

In mathematics, the Mersenne conjectures concern the characterization of prime numbers of a form called Mersenne primes, meaning prime numbers that are a power of two minus one. (Wikipedia).

Mertens Conjecture Disproof and the Riemann Hypothesis | MegaFavNumbers

#MegaFavNumbers The Mertens conjecture is a conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of the prime numbers. It can be seen as a stronger version of the Riemann hypothesis. It says that the Mertens function is bounded by sqrt(n). The Riemann hypothesis on the other hand only require

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Primes, Complexity and Computation: How Big Number theory resolves the Goldbach Conjecture

This lecture, which begins at 2:45, shows how Big Number theory, together with an understanding of prime numbers and their distribution resolves the Goldbach Conjecture, which states that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes. Notions of complexity and computation,

Euclid's Perfects and Mersenne's Primes (visually)

In this video, we show a visual proof of a theorem first proved by Euclid. The theorem states that if 2 raised to the p minus 1 is prime, then 2 raised to the (p-1) multiplied by that prime must be perfect. We end with some commentary about perfect numbers and primes of this special form (

Why are Mersenne primes and perfect number related? | SoME contest entry

In this video, I explain how Mersenne primes are related to perfect numbers, go over the Euclid half of the Euclid-Euler theorem, and make a bunch of really terrible "jokes". This video is my submission to the 3Blue1Brown Summer of Math Exposition contest. Consider checking out some other
