%N Squares s such that s^2+s+41 is prime.

%C n^2+n+41: Euler’s prime generating polynomial.

%C First 6 terms in the sequence are first 6 consecutive squares.

%e 9 is in the sequence because 9 = 3^2 and 9^2+9+41 = 131 is prime.

%e 36 is in the sequence because 36 = 6^2 and 36^2+36+41 = 1373 is prime.
