How to prove that all odd numbers are prime ?

Well, this problem has different solutions whether you are a:

Mathematician:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and by induction we have that all the odd integers are prime.

Physicist:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is an experimental error...

Engineer:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime...

Chemist:
3 is prime, 5 is prime... hey, let's publish!

Modern physicist using renormalization:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is ... 9/3 is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 is ... 15/3 is prime, 17 is prime, 19 is prime, 21 is ... 21/3 is prime...

Quantum Physicist:
All numbers are equally prime and non-prime until observed.

Professor:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and the rest are left as an exercise for the student.

Confused Undergraduate:
Let p be any prime number larger than 2. Then p is not divisible by 2, so p is odd. QED

Measure nontheorist:
There are exactly as many odd numbers as primes (Euclid, Cantor), and exactly one even prime (namely 2), so there must be exactly one odd nonprime (namely 1).
