| Abstract: | Introduction Prime numbers are by definition numbers which are only divisible by one and by themselves. It can be proved that such numbers are infinite, as are after all, the Real Numbers, or the Natural numbers. In the following pages will be trying to shed some light over the following unanswered question: "Is it possible to come up with some form of equation with which one can generate such numbers?" It is interesting to know that ever since Antiquity, mathematicians have always been haunted by this infamous question which, in virtue seems to have no straight forward answer. |
