  Wieferich prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a Wieferich prime is prime number p such that p² divides 2
Wieferich primes were first described by Arthur Wieferich in 1909 in works pertaining to Fermat's last theorem.
Prime numbers of this kind have been called Mirimanoff primes on occasion, but the name has not entered general mathematical use.

In mathematics, a prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than one whose only positive divisors are one and itself.
In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two.
The following theorem connecting Wieferich primes and Fermat's last theorem was proven by Wieferich in 1909: Pierre de Fermat Fermats last theorem (sometimes abbreviated as FLT and also called Fermats great theorem) is one of the most famous theorems in the history of mathematics.

In mathematics, a Wieferich prime is a certain kind of prime number.
A prime p is called a Wieferich prime iff p² divides 2
= 2q − 1 is a Wieferich prime iff 2q − 1 divides p²; from this, it follows immediately that a Mersenne prime cannot be a Wieferich prime.

Twin prime conjecture: A twin prime is a pair of primes with difference 2, such as 11 and 13.
A probable prime is an integer which, by virtue of having passed a certain test, is considered to be probably prime.
With this definition, the primes of the field Q of rational numbers are represented by the standard absolute value function (known as the "infinite prime") as well as by the p-adic valuations on Q, for every prime number p.

 Prime_number
The prime number theorem says that the proportion of primes less than x is asymptotic to 1/ln x (in other words, as x gets very large, the likelihood that a number less than x is prime is inversely proportional to the number of digits in x).
From a mathematical viewpoint, it roughly states that the asymptotic distribution of primes (about 1/ log x of number less than x are primes, the prime number theorem) also holds for much shorter intervals of length about the square root of x (for intervals near x).
Prime ideals are an important tool and object of study in commutative algebra, algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry.

 A {$p$}-adic study of the partial sums of the harmonic series, David W. Boyd
A classical result of Wolstenholme states that, if $p > 3$ is prime, the numerator of $H_{p-1}$ is divisible by $p^2$.
Here we consider, for a given prime $p$, the set $J_p$ of $n$ for which $p$ divides the numerator of $H_n$.
We give a probabilistic argument that suggests that such primes have a density $1/e$ in the set of all primes, and experimentally confirm this by a determination of all such $p \le 10^5$.

Either way, Bellamy never let his diminuitive size affect his bombastic stage demeanor: that night, he was a presence to be reckoned with, a pint-sized mesh of indie melancholy and arena theatrics, with a voice that seemed to reach to high heaven.
It was mere moments before my reaction to his size was overtaken by a reaction to his immense talent; everything sounds wonderful on record, of course, but until you witness in person Bellamy's pitch-perfect falsetto, fleet-fingered guitar technique, and dextrous piano work, the full effect doesn't really drive itself home.
Throughout the show, Wolstenholme was a four-stringed beast, which, probably, is often unfairly overlooked in favor of Bellamy's gargantuan ability.
