COMMENTS
The Euler polynomial, m^2 + m + q for q=17, generates 16 prime numbers, consecutively, from m=0 to 15. The polynomial 9*k^4 - 204*k^3 + 1777*k^2 - 7038*k + 10729 generates 20 prime numbers, consecutively, for k=0 to 27. The two polynomials are connected by the substitution of m -> 3*k^2 - 34*k + 103 in m^2 + m + 17.

FORMULA
Equals primes of the form ((6*k^2 -68*k +207)^2 + 67)/4, for k>=0. - G. C. Greubel, Mar 22 2019
EXAMPLE
For k=0, a(1) = 9*0^4 - 204*0^3 + 1777*0^2 - 7038*0 + 10729 = 10729.
For k=1, a(2) = 9*1^4 - 204*1^3 + 1777*1^2 - 7038*1 + 10729 = 5273.
For k=2, a(3) = 9*2^4 - 204*2^3 + 1777*2^2 - 7038*2 + 10729 = 2273.
