
Fascinated by prime numbers
Created 2 important theorems regarding prime
number
First

f(n) = n2 + n + 41



Works for all numbers n < 40
Still produces >10 million primes 3-1
f(n) = n2 + n + k, (k = prime)

Works for all number to k-2
Second

π(n) = n/(ln(n-1))


Generates the number of primes < the number n
Created in 1792, when 15 years old
