"Of considerable interest among mathematicians is the problem of the determination of primality of positive integers. For a small integer, N, we may say that N is prime or composite merely by trying to divide N by all primes less than or equal to the square root of N since if N is composite, one of its factors must be [less than or equal to] the square root of N. However, if N is large this test loses its practicality and we must resort to a more feasible method. It is the purpose of this paper to trace and show the development of such methods"--Introduction. / "June, 1959." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Paul J.
