| I will describe why e^{\pi\sqrt{163}} is almost an integer and how this is related to Q(\sqrt{-163}) having class number one and why n^2-n+41 is prime for n=0,...,39. Bits and pieces about Gauss's class number problem, Heegner numbers, the j-invariant and complex multiplication on elliptic curves will be discussed along the way. | |||
