Primes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number) are numbers that can't be made by multiplying two numbers, except for 1 and that number. The first few primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17. Prime numbers are essential in everyday life, whether you know it or not. Some of our basic concepts (such as dividing a pie into slices), and most advanced (cryptography, algebra) fields in maths research revolve around primes.
Polynomials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial) are a function. Sometimes, the first few values of a polynomial are primes. This project looks for polynomials that are prime for many values.
