How should I write an account of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions? Assuming this account should be in the form of an essay of at least ## 500 ## words. Should I apply the formula ## a_{n}=3+4n ## for ## 0\leq n\leq 2 ##? Can anyone please provide any idea(s)?

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 ?

Can you provide more details. What is an account? Normally we think bank account or something similar.

Do you mean an essay?

I am not completely sure of whether or not this will work for my 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."

Read the Wikipedia article, then regurgitate the information in different words. This sounds like a silly project.
