Sequential Experiments with Primes

“Caragiu (Ohio Northern Univ.) offers readers a valuable case study in fostering undergraduate research; he focuses on processes analogous to the Fibonacci sequence (generate each term by adding the previous two), twisted now by passing to the largest prime dividing the sum (or by dividing out the smallest prime). … Recommended. Undergraduates and above.” (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 56 (1), September, 2018)






“Caragiu’s book is a lovely synthesis of both ideas illustrated with sequences based on prime numbers. … this book offers you many ideas to explore and is an excellent foray into experimental mathematics. … Overall, this is an excellent book. If you are interested in experimental math and want to play, you’ll enjoy this book.” (David S. Mazel, MAA Reviews, December, 2017)
