把Maple中的序列命令seq和求第n个质数的命令ithprime组合起来就可以轻松地求出前n个质数。
比如求前100个质数，方法和运行结果如下：
seq(ithprime(n), n = 1 .. 100)
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59,
61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127,
131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191,
193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257,
263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331,
337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401,
409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467,
479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521, 523, 541
如果要求第200到第300个质数，方法和运行结果如下
seq(ithprime(n), n = 200 .. 300);
1223, 1229, 1231, 1237, 1249, 1259, 1277, 1279, 1283, 1289, 1291,
1297, 1301, 1303, 1307, 1319, 1321, 1327, 1361, 1367, 1373,
1381, 1399, 1409, 1423, 1427, 1429, 1433, 1439, 1447, 1451,
1453, 1459, 1471, 1481, 1483, 1487, 1489, 1493, 1499, 1511,
1523, 1531, 1543, 1549, 1553, 1559, 1567, 1571, 1579, 1583,
1597, 1601, 1607, 1609, 1613, 1619, 1621, 1627, 1637, 1657,
1663, 1667, 1669, 1693, 1697, 1699, 1709, 1721, 1723, 1733,
1741, 1747, 1753, 1759, 1777, 1783, 1787, 1789, 1801, 1811,
1823, 1831, 1847, 1861, 1867, 1871, 1873, 1877, 1879, 1889,
1901, 1907, 1913, 1931, 1933, 1949, 1951, 1973, 1979, 1987
