I have this thing also during my math education in Ateneo. I graduated BS Mathematics but during our math classes before, I can’t really understand the applications of the our lessons in real world. Our math is very theoretical and we do have a lot of out of this world theorems and concepts. That makes me very very sleepy during these kinds of lessons.

This may not be useful at the moment, but it may be of some very good use in the future.

Same here. But we really never know when some other scientist in future takes this knowledge and apply this to good use.

I have to agree with WhatsaCoder here. What’s the significance of this 47th Mersenne prime number?

9 is not a prime number. It is divisible by 1, 3 and 9.

Hmmmmm? I don’t know what’s the relevance of discovering this prime numbers. My dad always thought me that knowledge is useless if you’ll not apply it in real life…
