An antisquare number is a positive integer of the form
that fails to be a square
number for the two reasons that
is a prime number,
is a positive odd
number, and
is a positive integer that is a quadratic
nonresidue (mod p) (Conway 2009, p. 2).
The first few antisquare numbers are 6, 10, 15, 21, 22, 24, 26, 33, 35, 38, ... (OEIS
A080255).
