COMMENTS
There is always a prime between n^2 and n^3 for n > 1. For n = 2, primes 5 and 7 are between 4 and 8. For n > 2, we have the number of primes between n^2 and n^3 ~ n^3/log(n^3) - n^2/log(n^2) = n^2*(2n-3)/(6*log(n)) -> infinity as n -> infinity. A corollary to this is that the number of primes is infinite.

EXAMPLE
For n = 4 4^2 = 16, 4^3 = 64. there are 12 primes between 16 and 64 namely, 17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61.
