Title: Some properties of partial sums of the harmonic series. (In English)
Source: Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 52, 248-251 (1946).
Review: The authors use {\it A.E.Ingham's} theorem on the difference between consecutive primes (Zbl 017.38904) to prove that for a sufficiently large positive integer n no elementary symmetric function of 1,2-1,...,n-1 is an integer.
