I'd be interested in reviewing any number theory additions to [math].  It 
seems that the project has grown enough that it can branch out into number 
theory as well.

Hi Phil,
Many thanks for the quick reply, and if there is no one else currently 
working on this, I will be more than happy to get to know the convention 
used in the Math package and add some number theory to the package.

Thanks,
Karol.

Welcome, Karol!

This has been discussed before (see for example [1] - search the
archives for more) and you can see an outstanding item on the math
wishlist [2].  The answer is that no one has stepped up to
contribute this.  As you can see, [math] is mostly analysis and
statistics now, with very little algebra (really just the linear
algebra required for the analysis applications) and no number
theory.  If you are interested in working on primality testing, you
are most welcome to start.  See [3] for some general information
about how to get started contributing.

Phil
