The prime numbers are visible as zeros in this plot:

{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, \
67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}
The polynomial gives some other number as zeros also,
but they are relatively small.
I put the polynomials from 1 to 100

What I would like to do is make a characteristic
sequence like this:
1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,1,
1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,
1,1,1,1,-1,...
and take the Fourier transform of it and see
what the frequency spectrum looks like.
I made this sequence with this Excel formula:
=IF(J2=ROW();-L1;L1)
where J2 is the sequence:
1,2,3,1,5,1,7,1,1,1,11,1,13,1,1,1,17,...
But I have yet to find how to make it in Mathematica.
