In another colloquium lecture  my colleague Morris Orzech  who had consulted the latest edition of the Guinness Book of Records  reminded me very gently that the most \"innumerate\" people of the world are of a certain trible in Mato Grosso  Brazil. They do not even have a word to express the number \"two\" or the concept of plurality. \"Yes  Morris  Im from Brazil  but my book will contain numbers different from one. He added that the most boring 800-page book is by two Japanese mathematicians (whom Ill not name) and consists of about 16 million decimal digits of the number Te. \"I assure you  Morris  that in spite of the beauty of the appar ent randomness of the decimal digits of Te  Ill be sure that my text will include also some words.\" And then I proceeded putting together the magic combina tion of words and numbers  which became The Book of Prime Number Records. If you have seen it  only extreme curiosity could impel you to have this one in your hands. The New Book of Prime Number Records differs little from its predecessor in the general planning. But it contains new sections and updated records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952169938997,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387944575","price":89.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387944579.jpg?v=1770153230","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-book-of-prime-number-records-computers-and-medicine","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
