[Edu-sig] discrete math track (high school) + a sieve

[kirby urner]

We've maybe seen this sieve before on edu-sig but I don't remember for
sure, and just came across it following links from Guido's blog.  So pithy!

import itertools


def iter_primes():
     # An iterator of all numbers between 2 and
     # +infinity
     numbers = itertools.count(2)

     # Generate primes forever
     while True:
         # Get the first number from the iterator
         # (always a prime)
         prime = next(numbers)
         yield prime

         # This code iteratively builds up a chain
         # of filters...
         numbers = filter(prime.__rmod__, numbers)

for p in iter_primes():
    if p > 1000:
        break
    print(p)

Also, anyone interested in debates regarding the future of high school math
might be interested in math-teach, likely to be frozen and/or disappeared
come first of next year.  Lots of politics (I'm not a listowner nor on
staff, have limited insight, see 2nd link below):
