The Wolfram Demonstrations Project contains thousands of free interactive visualizations, with new entries added daily.

The first n prime numbers can be roughly approximated by a linear function of their index i. That is, the i^th prime is close to a + b i for some constants a and b. This Demonstration fits the first n primes to a linear function and displays the Cook's ...
