最小的素数是什么?
What is the smallest prime?
摘要:
第一个质数是什么?似乎数字二应该是显而易见的答案,今天是,但它并不总是如此。有时候,数学家们认为数字1和3是可以接受的答案.为了找到第一个素数,我们还必须知道第一个正整数是什么。令人惊讶的是,在历史上不同时期使用的定义中,1往往不是第一个正整数(有些以2开头,少数以3开头)。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了一的本原性的历史,从古希腊到现代。我们将讨论定义改变的一些原因,并提供几个例子。我们还将讨论最后一位将数字1列为素数的重要数学家。
英文摘要:
What is the first prime? It seems that the number two should be the obvious answer, and today it is, but it was not always so. There were times when and mathematicians for whom the numbers one and three were acceptable answers. To find the first prime, we must also know what the first positive integer is. Surprisingly, with the definitions used at various times throughout history, one was often not the first positive integer (some started with two, and a few with three). In this article, we survey the history of the primality of one, from the ancient Greeks to modern times. We will discuss some of the reasons definitions changed, and provide several examples. We will also discuss the last significant mathematicians to list the number one as prime.
