My Favourite Math Bot: Chris Tisdell
/ _primes_
This bot tweets out the sequence of prime numbers in ascending order. Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians for hundreds of years. Prime numbers are interesting from a "digital" point of view because they are used in encryption: web browsers, chat applications, email, VPNs, and any other types of communications that require securely sending data to servers or people you haven’t met before (or have for that matter.)
People (especially kids) seem to love large numbers and I can't wait until the numbers from this bot get really big.
