The prime number theorem is a theorem in number theory that specifies the asymptotic frequency of prime numbers.
Prime number theorem is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a number theory course.
Prerequisites
| Number Theory: | A field of mathematics sometimes called "higher arithmetic" consisting of the study of the properties of integers. Primes and prime factorization are especially important concepts in number theory. |
| Prime Counting Function: | The prime counting function is a function that gives the number of primes less than or equal to a given positive number. |
| Prime Number: | A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly one positive integer divisor other than 1 (i.e., no factors other than 1 and itself). Prime numbers are often simply called primes. |
