COMMENTS

The first column contains the first n primes in increasing order, the second column contains the next n primes in increasing order, etc. Equivalently, first row contains first n primes in increasing order, second row contains next n primes in increasing order, etc. Sequences of determinants of matrices specifically containing primes include A024356 (Hankel matrix), A067549 (first n primes on diagonal, other elements 1), A066933 (cyclic permutations of first n primes in each row) and A067551 (first n primes on diagonal, other elements 0).

EXAMPLE

a(3) = -78 because det[[2,7,17],[3,11,19],[5,13,23]] = -78 (= det[[2,3,5],[7,11,13],[17,19,23]], the determinant of the transpose.).

PROG

(PARI) for(n=1, 20, k=0; m=matrix(n, n, x, y, prime(k=k+1)); print(matdet(m))) (The matrix initialization command above fills columns first: Variables (such as) x and y take on values 1 through n for rows and columns, respectively, with x changing more rapidly and they must be specified even though the 5th argument is not an explicit function of them here.).
