Periodic Function Approach to Prime Number Analysis with Graphical Illustrations

This paper introduces a novel approach employing periodic functions for the comprehensive analysis of prime numbers. The method encompasses primality testing, factor counting and listing, prime distribution calculation, and the determination of the Nth prime. The exposition of the technique is presented in a clear and sequential manner, guiding the reader through each step with explicit equations. Graphs are strategically incorporated between crucial stages to facilitate a rapid and intuitive visualization of the rationale and outcomes of each maneuver. The paper concludes with concise reflections and ongoing inquiries into the potential applications and refinements of the proposed method.
