dc.description.abstractMany people are fascinated by π. Vast amounts of human and computer resources have been spent producing billions of its digits. Similarly, many people are intrigued by primes. How many primes are there within the digits of π? How many can we expect to find? We present the results of some computer searches and develop a theory to predict how many of these primes extensive computer searches are likely to find.en
