This fun project and playing with primes was insprired by 3Blue1Brown’s video on youtube.
3Blue1Brown is a brilliant youtube channel on mathematics Here is the link for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK32jo7i5LQ
This code replicates the distribution of prime numbers plot in a polar co-ordinate system seen in the video. You can plot the first n prime numbers. Here there is only one input defined by the variable num.
These codes run much faster on GPU using namba library.
- install numba if you want using ‘pip install numba’
How to
- biggestPrime.py - computes the biggest primefactor of a given number. (No link to the plots.)
- Nth_Prime.py - Generates the n (input) no. of primes and renders the plots seen below. Change num to any desired number.
- Comment out the decorator @jit(nopython=True) if you dont have a cuda supported gpu or numba installted
