Carl Bernard Pomerance is an American number theorist. He attended college at Brown University and later received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1972 with a dissertation proving that any odd perfect number has at least seven distinct prime factors. He joined the faculty at the University of Georgia, becoming full professor in 1982. He subsequently worked at Lucent Technologies for a number of years, and then became a distinguished Professor at Dartmouth College. Wikipedia
“Maybe so, but something is going on with the primes.”
In response to Albert Einstein's (1943) quote "God doesn't play dice [with the universe]." From a 1997 lecture by Carl Pomerance on the Erdos-Kac theorem. <br class="br">Due to a newspaper misprint, this quote is often misattributed to Paul Erdős. http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/mrwatkin/kac-pomerance.txt
