At the conference for applied and new mathematics in Melbourne last year there was a huge fervor over this as new evidence came to light.
Basically, from I gather, it's like this:
Technically, neither 1 nor zero is a prime number. It is easiest to see why zero isn't: since a prime number is only divisible by one and itself,
let's find all the divisors of zero.
Well, since 0 x 1 = 0, and 0 x 2 = 0, and 0 x 3 = 0, and so on, all these numbers divide zero, i.e. zero is divisible by every positive integer. So
it isn't a prime number.
As for 1, you might want to call it a prime number, since it really _is_ divisible by only one and itself. But then you run into some problems.
For instance, you may know that every positive integer can be factored into the product of prime numbers, and that there's only one way to do
it for every number. For instance, 280 = 2x2x2x5x7, and there's only one way to factor 280 into prime numbers. But if you let 1 be a prime,
then you can get the following factorizations: 1x1x1x2x2x2x5x7, 1x2x2x2x5x7, and so on. The factorization is no longer unique.
Furthermore, there are a whole bunch of theorems in Number Theory that tell you something about prime numbers. But most of these theorems just flat out ain't true for the number 1. So in light of these facts, we just declare the number 1 to not be a prime.
So that's why we don't WANT 1 to be a prime. Mathematicians have summarized this in a nice neat definition: a prime number is a positive integer which has exactly 2 different positive integers that divide it evenly - no more and no fewer.

Well, by that definition, it is very clear that neither 1 or 0 are prime. Where's the controversy and what would be the point of including 1?

Prime numbers are *extremely* significant in mathematics. Prime numbers are one of the most fundamental ideas in set theory. It turns out that it doesn't matter what base number system you use, or if you even use numbers or finite sets, you will end up with some form of prime numbers (or prime cardinality).
The idea of primality is a very basic concept in mathematics and it lies very close to the fundamentals of logic and set theory. You mention that you are in high school, but if you are interested in reading more, I suggest reading something from an Abstract Algebra website or text book. Abstract algebra is a college level math course, that could be understood easily by an interested and motivated high school student. No calculus or prior college math is necessary to understand Abstract Algebra, although a highschool geometry course might help you with the concepts of theorems and proofs.

A prime number is a number that can only be divided by one and itself, one can not "fix" this. I was merely pointing out why 0 and 1 are so special, 11 is not, and therefore can not be "fixed" as you say.

Did you just hear something? That was the sound of the 747 flying over your head, with big letters on it reading "joke". I was making fun of the point that it doesn't matter what we WANT a number to be, it just is what it is. The only difference it would make if the number is officially prime would be that most mathematical proofs that reference prime numbers would have to have a little disclaimer in them saying "all prime numbers (with the exception of 1)..."

Frequently Asked Ingredient & Nutrition Questions/Answers
Do your breads contain animal products?
SUBWAY Italian bread contains no animal derived ingredients. The wheat bread and deli roll contain honey which may be considered an animal derived ingredient. The Parmesan Oregano and Monterey cheddar breads contain cheese.
Do any of your breads contain milk/milkderived ingredients?
Both the Monterey Cheddar bread and the Parmesan Oregano bread have a cheese topping.
What is the origin of sodium stearoyl2lactylate and the mono and diglycerides found in the bread?
These ingredients are plantderived.
What is the origin of enzymes (rennin) used in the cheese?
The bulk of rennet used in processing is microbial however there could be a chance of calf rennin in the cheese due to production variables. The cheese contains no porcine (pig) derived rennet.
Is monosodium glutamate used as a flavor enhancer in any of your foods?
SUBWAY does not add MSG to any of our foods. However other ingredients such as hydrolyzed or textured vegetable proteins and/or autolyzed yeast are used in our products. These ingredients contain free glutamates that may cause similar sensitivities that MSG causes. Foods like tomatoes tomato sauce and cheese also contain higher levels of free glutamates. Snack chips sold at stores may contain MSG make sure to read the ingredients.
Why is the nutrition information different on different on cups and napkins or in brochures?
We strive for continuous quality improvement and often try new products and formulations because of this our nutrition information may change before papergoods stock has been depleted. If you find a discrepancy check the copyright date of the materials and go by the latest date. The most recent nutritional information can be obtained from our website www.subway.com.
Why is the cholesterol content of the chicken breast sub and salad higher than most of the other subs and salads?
There are several reasons for this:
The portion of the roasted chicken in both the salad and sub is larger then the portions of other meat/poultry based sandwiches and salads.
All of the other sandwich meats have a greater percentage water and/or other ingredients than the roasted chicken. As a result these meats they have lower cholesterol level than their whole meat counterparts.
SUBWAY uses lean turkey roast beef and ham which keeps fat and cholesterol levels lower.
How long can a SUBWAY sandwich or salad be refrigerated for after it is purchased?
SUBWAY foods are intended to be eaten at the time of purchase. We recommend eating your sub on the day of purchase.

It seems IMHO time to question seriously the basic approach the scientific community is taking toward biomedical research. What, exactly, is the cost/benefit ratio these days?
Further, how sensible is it to buy into the article of faith that all we have to do is continue to pour billions into basic research, expecting that sooner or later we will all lead longer and better lives as a result? It could be that we are wasting tons of money. It would be an excellent idea to re-examine how we allocate scarce resources in the pursuit of knowledge. I'm not a Luddite, but I am very disappointed that our progress has been so slow. Consider, for example, when you last saw any statistics showing how much money has been spent researching cancer (both on basic research and in the development of clinical tools), and how the suvival rates for the disease have changed over the last half-century. I think you don't see these figures because they are grim, indeed.
Maybe thirty years ago a physician told me that childhood leukemia was "almost not fatal any more." Where is it today? "Not fatal?" Are we chasing a will-o'-the-wisp, or have we really got a grip on where we want to go, and how to get there? How uncoordinated and goofy are our efforts? Should we not be further along by now??
My argument is not against science, basic research, or knowledge. It is simply that it would be better--more efficient--if we spent our money more wisely, that is, according to rational plans that consider results and costs when deciding where to put our efforts. Are we in this to learn things, or to save human life? Can we do both? Sometimes it appears that there IS a very real difference between two camps: one pushing for more labs and money for whatever it wants to pursue, the other genuinely concerned with saving lives. Consider:
Long ago the Nixon administration tried to shift funds to the implementation of widespread early detection programs, in the sure knowledge that certain cancers (not all) can be cured if detected when small. The scientific community howled like a stuck pig. Sure, Nixon was a jerk, but his priority was the saving of lives, now. As a result of intensive lobbying, the early detection approach was scrapped, and who knows how many lives have been lost because of that? I could not criticize this if it could be shown that pressing on with expensive basic research had saved even an equivalent number of lives, but I am sure no such result was obtained. Those who argued against Nixon's approach were willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of human beings in order to be able to carry on programs whose results could only be speculated about. I do not call that ethical--it seems more like selfishness, and inhumane selfishness at that.
We ought to have another look, ask some hard questions, and consider whether the scientific establishment has taken the bit in its teeth. Poor results for 2001 are a hint that I might be right.

Simply put: what are the 2002 breakthroughs in "happiness science"?
Maybe the solutions will not come from hardcore science but from other disciplines: economics, philosophy, history, *gasp* arts... I don't know which discipline, I can't probably even name nor describe them properly, as I'm just another techie nerd... I'm just speculating on what the world would be if all the priorities in research budgets were turned upside down. Think of the department of philosophy/arts/economics in your university getting all the research grants and the brilliant students, think of in what state of progress such disciplines would be if they had the same publication rate as, say, what software engineering has now.
I am not saying that allocating more money to social sciences would necessarily equate to getting the same results. But maybe just focussing more on such issues alone would contribute to a better awareness of the problems and questions that *really* matter.
End of utopic rant!
