An algorithm to determine all the prime numbers up to some given limit. Start with Atkin's sieve. The problem with Atkin's algorithm is that if not coded properly it can be slower than the Sieve of Eratosthenes (an ancient algorithm).

...that mortally intolerable truth; that all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore.

It all depends on what YOU are interested in. Tell folks what you are interested in, and some ideas might come about.
