Revision 62813862 of "Euler prime" on enwiki

In [[number theory]], '''Euler primes''' or '''symmetric primes''' are [[prime number|prime]]s that are the same distance from a given integer. For example 3 and 13 are both 5 units from the number 8, hence are symmetric primes. All [[twin prime]]s, [[cousin prime]]s, and [[sexy prime]]s are symmetric primes. However, one need not stop there; [[Goldbach's conjecture]], for example, implies that there are an infinite number of symmetric primes (not necessarily distinct) — in fact, one or more for all ''n'' ≥ 2. (Let ''n'' be a [[natural number]] ≥ 2 and ''p'',''q'' primes. If ''p'' + ''q'' = 2''n'', then ''p'',''q'' are symmetric primes over ''n''.)
