[seqfan] Re: Mma code snippets in some prime modulo sequences

[Alonso Del Arte]

It looks valid but I'm not a computer with Mathematica on it right now. It's
not  the form I would use (I would probably go with Select rather than
Position) but then again I tend to go for more verbose commands.

Flatten [ Position [ [Prime Q [210 Range [100] +19], True ] ]

should give the n such that 210n + 19 is prime, assuming that part was done
correctly. Then it's a simple matter of multiplying by 210 and adding 19,
just as the Mathematica command given does.

This code, as I understand it, checks the primality of the numbers 19, 229,
... 21019. So I too would suspect there should be more terms, even if not
enough for four lines. What are the odds this formula would give no primes
whatsoever for 46 < n < 100 ?
