COMMENTS

Analogue of the Stirling numbers of the first kind (A008275): The Stirling numbers (beginning with the 2nd row) are the coefficients of the polynomials having exactly the first n natural numbers as roots. This sequence (beginning with first row) consists of the coefficients of the polynomials having exactly the first n prime numbers as roots.

EXAMPLE

Row 4 of this sequence is 210, -247, 101, -17, 1 because (x-prime(1))(x-prime(2))(x-prime(3))(x-prime(4)) = (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)(x-7) = x^4 - 17*x^3 + 101*x^2 - 247*x + 210.

PROG

(PARI) p=1; for(k=1, 10, p=p*(x-prime(k)); for(n=0, k, print1(polcoeff(p, n), ", ")))
