"A recursive formula for a 20th power prime producing polynomial."

Program is automated so that all you have to do is put in the prime generating polynomial to get the recursive function out. As the larger the power of the polynomial, the larger numbers produced, this produces very large primes at a rate of about 18/60 or 300/1000.

2.579% of the first million values are prime. [From Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 20 2010]
