English Language
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th ...

Sieve Of Atkin
In mathematics, the sieve of Atkin is a modern algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. Compared with the ancient sieve of Eratosthenes, which marks off multiples of primes, the sieve of Atkin does some preliminary work and then marks off multiples of ''squares'' of primes, thus achieving a better theoretical asymptotic complexity. It was created in 2003 by A. O. L. Atkin and Daniel J. Bernstein.A.O.L. Atkin, D.J. Bernstein''Prime sieves using binary quadratic forms'' Math. Comp. 73 (2004), 1023-103/ref> Algorithm In the algorithm: *All remainders are Modulo operation, modulo-sixty remainders (divide the number by 60 and return the remainder). * All numbers, including and , are positive integers. * Flipping an entry in the sieve list means to change the marking (prime or nonprime) to the opposite marking. * This results in numbers with an odd number of solutions to the corresponding equation being potentially prime (prime if they are also square free), ...
