The basic question of the whole book, which we formulate as follows: Basic Question 0.1. Given a positive integer n, which primes p can be expressed in the form p = x² + ny² where x and y are integers? This book has several goals. The first, to answer the basic question, has alr…
"This book presents the development of Prime Number Theory from its beginnings until the end of the first decade of the xxth century. Special emphasis is given to the work of Cebysev, Dirichlet, Riemann, Vallee-Poussin, Hadamard and Landau. The book presents the principal result…
"This book is about the life of primes. Indeed, once they are defined, primes take on a life of their own and the mysteries surrounding them begin multiplying, just like living cells reproduce themselves, and there seems to be no end to it. This monograph takes the reader on a j…
