Based on the tables by Anton Felkel and Jurij Vega, Adrien-Marie Legendre conjectured in 1797 or 1798 that π(a) is approximated by the function a / (A log a + B), where A and B are unspecified constants. In the second edition of his book on number theory (1808) he then made a more precise conjecture, with A = 1 and B = −1.08366. Carl Friedrich Gaussconsidered the same question at age 15 or 16 "in the year 1792 or 1793", according to his own recollection in 1849. In …

This paper presents an "elementary" proof of the prime number theorem, elementary in the sense that no complex analytic techniques are used. First proven by Hadamard and Valle-Poussin, the prime number the-orem states that the number of primes less than or equal to an integer x asymptotically approaches the value x lnx. Until 1949, the theorem ...

The prime number theorem provides a way to approximate the number of primes less than or equal to a given number n. This value is called π(n), ...

Other proofs in the early 20th century mostly used Tauberian theorems , as in [Wiener 1932], to extract the. Prime Number Theorem from the non- ...

In 1896 the prime number theorem was finally proved by Jacques Hadamard [12] and also by Charles–Jean de la Vallée Poussin [6]. The first part of the proof is ...

Our goal in this article is to elucidate a complex analytic proof of the prime number theorem, given in Chapter 7 of [9].

In 1948, Alte Selberg and Paul Erdős simultaneously found "elementary" proofs of the prime number theorem. Unfortunately, these ...

02.05.2017 · The standard proof of the prime number theorem is extremely long and complicated, and requires knowledge of advanced mathematical theories. Here we propose a short, elementary proof that even high school students can understand. To make it rigorous, there are a number of points that require a much deeper dive.

Newman's proof of the prime number theorem. D. J. Newman gives a quick proof of the prime number theorem (PNT). The proof is "non-elementary" by virtue of relying on complex analysis, but uses only elementary techniques from a first course in the subject: Cauchy's integral formula, Cauchy's integral theorem and estimates of complex integrals ...

The rst proof of the Prime Number Theorem (PNT), found in 1896 by Hadamard and de la Vall ee-Poussin (independently), made massive use of complex analysis, well beyond relying on the Riemann function (z) for complex z. Its crucial ingredient is the non-vanishing of on the line

AN ELEMENTARY PROOF OF THE PRIME-NUMBER THEOREM ATLE SELBERG (Received October 14, 1948) 1. Introduction In this paper will be given a new proof of the prime-number theorem, which is elementary in the sense that it uses practically no analysis, except the simplest properties of the logarithm. We shall prove the prime-number theorem in the form
