Mathomatic Prime Number Tools ----------------------------- This directory contains some small, command-line, integer math utilities written in C and Python. To compile, test, and install these utilities, type the following commands at the Unix shell prompt: make make test sudo make install This will install: matho-primes - quickly generate consecutive prime numbers primorial - calculate large primorials matho-mult - multiply large integers matho-pascal - output Pascal's triangle matho-sum - sum large integers matho-sumsq - output the minimum sum of the squares of integers These stand-alone utilities come with Mathomatic and they don't need to be installed to work properly. See the website www.mathomatic.org to get the latest version. The Python program "primorial" is included in this directory for calculating large primorials from matho-primes. A primorial is the product of all primes up to the given number. To generate a list of all unique primorials from 2 to 97, type the following at the Unix shell after installing matho-primes: primorial `matho-primes 2 97` Example that calculates the number of primes less than or equal to 1,000,000: matho-primes 0 1000000 | wc -w The result should be 78498.
