📚 1 Books mentioned in "Guido van Rossum: Python and the Future of Programming | Lex Fridman Podcast #341" of Lex Fridman Podcast

If you think a bit more about it, or you just read in your book about the history of math, one of the first algorithms ever written down notes that all you have to do is check if it’s divisible by any of the previous prime numbers that are smaller than the square root. Before you get to a better algorithm than that, you have to have several PhDs in discrete math.

During a discussion about efficient algorithms, Guido mentions a book titled 'history of math' to highlight how early algorithms for finding prime numbers are presented in literature, illustrating the evolution of algorithms over time.
