Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Robert G. Wilson v, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..38
FORMULA
a(n) ~ 1/n * e^n * (e-1).
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 1 as 2 is the only between 1 and e. a(4) = 18, as there are 18 primes between e^4 = 54.59815... and e^5 = 148.4131591...
MAPLE
# To find all primes between ceiling(base^(n-1)) and floor(base^n). This uses the Maple function 'isprime', which is a probabilistic primality testing routine.
base := exp(1); maxx := 15; for n from 1 to maxx do for i from ceil(base^(n-1)) to floor(base^(n)) do if (isprime(i)) then numPrimes := numPrimes + 1: end if; od; printf("Number of primes between ceil(%f)^%d and floor(%f)^%d is %d ", base, n-1, base, n, numPrimes); od; # Winston C.
