Although my publishing cycle at Decoded Science has been delayed by "bespoke" work for other clients, I've carved out some time for another Mathematics article in the series about Prime Numbers: "Four Personalized Prime Number Formulae".
Here I continue my practice of pre-publishing the images that I personally create here in my Blog of Writing, prior to submitting the article to Decoded Science.

"Fermat Numbers" by Mike DeHaan
Merely a spreadsheet with a few Fermat numbers, nonetheless it illustrates a point in the article.
"Pierpont Numbers" by Mike DeHaan
Likewise, may I present a spreadsheet with a selection of Pierpont numbers.
Here is my usual reference to DeHaan Services ("A Tangled Tale of Four Personalized Prime Numbers") and a writing tip.

Writing Tip
Today's writing tip is to remain open to the possibilities when researching and writing your article.
When I began this particular article about prime numbers, I simply wanted to list a few more "personalized" sets of primes. This would balance a prior article, "The Complex Tale of Eisenstein Prime Numbers". Otherwise it would seem that Eisenstein was unique for having some primes named after him.
Instead, I found these four mathematicians were entangled because of their very personalized primes.
Always look for unexpected relationships; in my view, these can make for the most interesting stories.
