Section 4.2, due November 9

I found it a little tough to follow Bertrand's theorem. The logic was a little difficult to follow and all of the simplifications sort of got jumbled in my mind. I could not quite follow where it was going or how it was arriving at certain conclusions.

However, I did find it interesting how we can set so many bounds on the number of primes, how big the primes are, and some sums of primes as well. It seems that we can say quite a bit about the distribution of primes whereas I figured it was more or less random.
