The discussion centers on writing an essay about prime numbers in arithmetic progressions, specifically using the formula a_{n}=3+4n for the range 0 ≤ n ≤ 2. Participants clarify that an "account" refers to an essay, and emphasize the need to explore the definition of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions, which are sequences of at least three consecutive prime numbers. The consensus suggests that the task involves summarizing existing knowledge, particularly from Wikipedia, rather than original research.
PREREQUISITESStudents, educators, and writers interested in mathematics, particularly those tasked with composing essays on number theory and prime numbers.
I am not completely sure of whether or not this will work for my purpose.anuttarasammyak said:The first sentence of Wiki you quoted says:In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. Doesn't it work for your purpose ?
I wish there are more details in this question, but no. The question states: "Write an account of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions. Your account should be in the form of an essay of 500-1000 words."jedishrfu said:Can you provide more details. What is an account? Normally we think bank account or something similar.
Do you mean an essay?
