Rutgers Graduate Student Finds New Prime-Generating Formula

I'm not sure what you mean, there are several legitimate interpretation that come to mind, but could you elaborate?

do you mean a) in the continuum of math that appears on, its deep, but not in the continuum of research mathematics?

b) calling something nifty deep math being overly simplistic?

c) something I'm missing

I was mocking the parent, actually, as if there being "nothing new" computationally somehow made it boring.

Thats fair, but wouldn't it be more constructive to explicitly articulate that?
