I found this sequence of what appears to be irrational numbers, but keep getting this error that doesn't spot a decent output. f[m_] := 1 + Sum[1/m^Prime[n], {n, 1, Infinity}] a = Table[N[f[m]], {m, 2, 25}] Output={1.41468, 1.15273, 1.07916, 1.04833, 1.03254, 1.02338, 1.01761, 1.01373, 1.01101, 1.00902, 1.00753, 1.00638, 1.00547, 1.00474, 1.00415, 1.00366, 1.00326, 1.00292, 1.00263, 1.00238, 1.00216, 1.00197, 1.00181, 1.00166} Errors read as: \!\(\* RowBox[{ RowBox[{\(rime::"intpp"\), ":", " ", "\<\"Positive integer argument expected in Prime[ 16.`]. \\!\\( \\*ButtonBox[\\(Moreâ?¦\\), \ ButtonData:>\\\"Prime::intpp\\\", ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", \ ButtonFrame->\\\"None\\\"]\\)\"\>"}], "\n", RowBox[{\(Prime::"intpp"\), ":", " ", "\<\"Positive integer argument \ expected in Prime[16.`]. \\!\\( \\*ButtonBox[\\(Moreâ?¦\\), \ ButtonData:>\\\"Prime::intpp\\\", ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", \ ButtonFrame->\\\"None\\\"]\\)\"\>"}], "\n", RowBox[{\(Prime::"intpp"\), ":", " ", "\<\"Positive integer argument expected in Prime[ 17.`]. \\!\\( \\*ButtonBox[\\(Moreâ?¦\\), \ ButtonData:>\\\"Prime::intpp\\\", ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", \ ButtonFrame->\\\"None\\\"]\\)\"\>"}], "\n", RowBox[{\(General::"stop"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), "\<\"Further output of \ Prime::\"\>", "intpp", "\<\" will be suppressed during this calculation. \ \\!\\( \\*ButtonBox[\\(Moreâ?¦\\), ButtonData:>\\\"General::stop\\\", \ ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", ButtonFrame->\\\"None\\\"]\\)\"\>"}]}]\) More gives: â?¼ Generated when the indicated argument used in Prime is not a positive integer.
