Abstract: Abstract We have already encountered several special kinds of primes, for example, those which are Fermat numbers, or Mersenne numbers (see Chapter 2). Now I shall discuss other families of primes, among them the regular primes, the Sophie Germain primes, the Wieferich primes, the Wilson primes, the prime repunits, the primes in secondorder linear recurring sequences.
