....about 6p 2 (1 log 2) x nonzero terms. Actual calculations of p(x) by Gauss and others were based on factor tables made using sieve methods. The first efficient algorithm for computing p(x) which does not involve locating all the primes below x is due to the astronomer E. D. F. Meissel ( 11] [14]) His method is economical of space, and can be viewed as reducing the number of terms in Legendre s sum (1.1) Using his methods 2 he calculated p(10 8 ) 5 , 761 , 455 in 1871, and then after an enormous calculation announced in 1885 that p(10 9 ) was 50,847,478. His value of ....
