Harold Wilson Harold Wilson James Harold Wilson, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx, (11 March 1916– 24 May 1995) was a British Labour politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976. Entering Parliament in 1945, Wilson was appointed a parliamentary secretary in the Attlee ministry and rose quickly through the ministerial ranks; he became Secretary for Overseas Trade in 1947 and was elevated to Cabinet shortly thereafter as President of the Board of Trade. In opposition to the next Conservative government, he served as Shadow Chancellor (19551961) and Shadow Foreign Secretary (19611963). Hugh Gaitskell,
Wilson prime Wilson prime A Wilson prime, named after English mathematician John Wilson, is a prime number "p" such that "p" divides ("p" − 1)! + 1, where "!" denotes the factorial function; compare this with Wilson's theorem, which states that every prime "p" divides ("p" − 1)! + 1. The only known Wilson primes are 5, 13, and 563 ; if any others exist, they must be greater than 2. It has been conjectured that infinitely many Wilson primes exist, and that the number of Wilson primes in an interval ["x", "y"] is about log(log("y")/log("x")).
