I started this article from material taken from Prime number. Some of what's currently in this article should probably go instead in an article about the Riemann zeta function. Hard to know how detailed to get on this page - it's serious mathematics. - Greg Martin 22:14, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

Perhaps the page name should be "Prime number theorem" rather than "Prime Number Theorem". --Catherine Woodgold 21:07, 30 April 2007 (CDT)

log vs ln

Shouldn't the equation be written as ln(x) or loge(x) if it is a natural log? David E. Volk 15:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
