Math Questions

How many prime numbers are there less than a given number? The Prime Number Theorem says approximately n/log n, a formula so simple and beautiful it defies the imagination.

I go through periods when I am curious about questions like that, periods both pleasurable and accursed.

What would I do with all the time I spent studying mathematics if could have it back?

Most likely, make the same mistake.
