Daihachiro Sato (June 1, 1932 – May 28, 2008) was a Japanesemathematician who was awarded the Lester R. Ford Award in 1976 for his work in number theory, specifically on his work in the Diophantine representation of prime numbers.

It is in the field of prime representing functions that Sato co-authored a paper with James P. Jones, Hideo Wada, and Douglas Wiens entitled "Diophantine Representation of the Set of Prime Numbers", which won them the Lester R. Ford Award in Mathematics in 1976.
Harvey Dubner, engineer living in New Jersey, noted for his contributions to finding large prime numbers
A Fortunate number, named after Reo Fortune, for a given positive integer n is the smallest integer m > 1 such that pn# + m is a prime number, where the primorial pn# is the product of the first n prime numbers.

In this passage, Clarke describes the prime spiral, a method of graphing the prime numbers that reveals a pattern, seven years before it was discovered by Stanislaw Ulam.
