``Re: Negative primes (seeking comment)'' by akrowne on 2005-10-18 12:57:14
Its not an issue of "better" or "more correct": its an issue of how the primes are usually defined. It was my understanding the normal definition excludes negatives; and you have to explicitly include negatives to consider them. I'll put a clarification in the entry, but can anyone else comment on conventions?
