一份由4204名科学家组成的名单，他们在从事主要工作时的年龄可以根据手头的信息确定。这些年龄在这里被称为素数：年龄意味着从所讨论的年份中减去出生年份的结果。这不仅节省了大量研究，而且在统计上是正确的。该列表包括大多数知名名字，以及许多鲜为人知的名字。1600年之前的质数不包括在内;否则没有限制。这项工作并没有匆忙完成，有人声称错误并不多，以使结论无效。质数在紧接着
A list was made of 4204 scientists whose ages at the time of their chief work could be determined plausibly from information close at hand. These ages will here be called primes: and age will mean the result of subtracting the year of birth from the year in question. This not only saves much research, but is statistically correct.The list includes most of the well-known names, and many less known. Primes before the year i6oo have not been included; otherwise there has been no restriction. The work has not been done hastily, and it is claimed that errors are not so many as to vitiate the conclusions. Primes are cited immediately after
