EXAMPLE
From Omar E. Pol, Apr 27 2015: (Start)
For n = 5 the 5th prime is 11 and the sum of first five primes is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 28, so a(5) = 5*11 - 28 = 27.
Illustration of a(5) = 27:
Consider a diagram in the first quadrant of the square grid in which the number of cells in the n-th horizontal bar is equal to the n-th prime, as shown below:
. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
. 11 |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|
. 7 |_ _ _ _ _ _ _|* * * *
. 5 |_ _ _ _ _|* * * * * *
. 3 |_ _ _|* * * * * * * *
. 2 |_ _|* * * * * * * * *
.
a(5) is also the area (or the number of cells, or the number of *'s) under the bar's structure of prime numbers: a(5) = 1 + 4 + 6 + 16 = 27.
