 | | In decimal notation, the sequence of palindromic primes begins with 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, 787, 797, 919, 929, 10301, 10501, 10601, 11311, and so on. |
 | | A palindromic prime pyramid is a sequence of primes in which each term is a palindrome with the previous term as its central digits. |
 | | The idea of studying palindromic prime pyramids was first proposed by G.L. Honaker Jr., a teacher in Bristol, Va. Honaker later collaborated with mathematician and prime specialist Chris K. Caldwell of the University of Tennessee at Martin in a detailed investigation of these curious structures. |
