paper explains that
prime numbers have upset humanity for the last 2,300 years, ever since Euclid proved that there was infinity. The paper presents Euclid's proof. The author points out that, in the 19th century, the Russian, Tchebychef ,made significant contributions to the study of prime numbers by concluding that if the B(x) from Legendre's equation had a
limit, then that limit had to be 1. The paper relates that Bernhardt Riemann, in 1859, continued Euler's work on series of numbers and made fundamental new discoveries within the prime numbers domain.
