G'day all.
Quoting Daniel Fischer
Who does such horrible things? Repeat after me: 1 is NOT a prime. Never, under no circumstances.
The definition of "prime" is well-understood standard terminology, but that doesn't escape the fact that it's arbitrary and human-defined. I'll bet you insist on the non-triviality axiom for fields, too. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
