FINDINGS ON PRIME NUMBERS
Over the past two years, I have conducted my own independent study of prime numbers. My primary goal has been to determine the algebraic formula that related each prime number to the number of its term in the infinite sequence of prime numbers. I have been rigorously searching for this possibly nonexistant formula since I learned of its mystery in my ninth grade year. To this day it still eludes me. Through my studies I discovered a method for determining whether a given number is prime or composite. I found this method while studying the relationship between prime numbers and perfect squares, the only area of my success. I discovered this independently without any outside information on the subject, so i was therefore upset at finding that my work had already been done by Eratosthenes, and that its name was the Eratosthenes Sieve.
