We present a proof given by Euler in his paper {\it ``De serierum determinatione seu nova methodus inveniendi terminos generales serierum"} \cite{E189} (E189:``On the determination of series or a new method of finding the general terms of…

This paper is devoted to the theory of prime numbers. In this paper we first introduce the notion of a matrix of prime numbers. Then, in order to investigate the density of prime numbers in separate rows of the matrix under consideration,…

In this paper, a simple explanation for the Goldbach Conjecture is given. We have shown that the probability of violating the conjecture not only for the prime numbers, but also for any subset of natural numbers whose distribution is…

We review Euler's idea on the Gammafunction. We will explain, how Euler obtained them and how Euler's ideas anticipate more modern approaches and theories. Furthermore, some questions asked by Euler are answered.

We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…

This is an exposition, in 12 pages including all prerequisites and a generalization, of Karamata's little known elementary proof of the Landau-Ingham Tauberian theorem, a result in real analysis from which the Prime Number Theorem follows…

To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…

This paper presents some considerations about the Goldbach's conjecture (GC). The work is based on elementary results of the number theory and it provides a constructive method that permits, given an even integer, to find at least a pair of…

Several examples of generalized number systems are constructed to compare various conditions occurring in the literature for the prime number theorem in the context of Beurling generalized primes.

While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…

Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions called as Dirichlet prime number theorem is a classical result in number theory. Atle Selberg\cite{Selberg} gave an elementary proof of this theorem. In this article we give an alternative…

In this paper we investigate the properties of the Euler functions. By using the Fourier transform for the Euler function, we derive the interesting formula related to the infinite series. Finally we give some interesting identities between…

We prove Euler's theorem of number theory developing an argument based on quandles. A quandle is an algebraic structure whose axioms mimic the three Reidemeister moves of knot theory.

In this paper, we will give some estimation for the average error of the prime number theorem.

One of the greatest experimental mathematicians of all time was also one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, the great Leonhard Euler. Usually he had an uncanny intuition on how many "special cases" one needs before one can…

We present a probabilistic proof of Euler's pentagonal number theorem based on a shuffling model.

To determine Euler numbers modulo powers of two seems to be a difficult task. In this paper we achieve this and apply the explicit congruence to give a new proof of a classical result due to M. A. Stern.

In this short note, we establish an operator theoretic version of the Wiener-Ikehara tauberian theorem, and point out how this leads to a new proof of the Prime number theorem that should be accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of…

The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…

Translation from the Latin original "Utrum hic numerus 1000009 sit primus necne inquiritur" (1778). E699 in the Enestrom index. The idea of this paper is that if some number is a sum of two squares in two ways, then some other smaller…
