Extract

It is sometimes very difficult to recognise prime numbers at sight, or to discover them without laborious opertions, and mathematicians from the remotest times have endeavoured with varying success to discover suitable methods for the purpose.

In the present note I will assume that the junior student is familiar with the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and that he is required to make a complete list of primes and composite numbers between two limits such as 1601 to 1639.
