Prime Number Spiral 7.91
Prime Number Spiral - The Prime Number Spiral (a.k.a. the Ulam Spiral) is constructed as follows: Consider a rectangular
grid. We start with the central point and arrange the positive integers in a spiral fashion
(anticlockwise). The prime numbers are then marked. There is a tendency for the prime numbers to
occur on diagonal lines, however far out into the spiral one goes. This is software is for
exploring the Prime Number Spiral. It also (a) allows coloring of the prime numbers in various
ways, (b) displays a random arrangement to compare with the primes and (c) shows how square and
triangular numbers are located on the spiral.
