Prime Numbers, Friends Who Give Problems: A Trialogue With Papa Paulo

"This is a charming book, written as a conversation between mathematician Papa Paulo and his grandsons. A motivated reader can learn not only about prime numbers, but also something about how mathematicians think, work, and ask questions from reading this book."
Mathematical Association of America

Prime Numbers, Friends Who Give Problems is written as a trialogue, with two persons who are interested in prime numbers asking the author, Papa Paulo, intelligent questions. Starting at a very elementary level, the book advances steadily, covering all important topics of the theory of prime numbers, up to the most famous problems. The humorous conversations and the inclusion of a back-story add to the uniqueness of the book. Concepts and results are also explained with great care, making the book accessible to a wide audience.
