| The only proof that I have seen of the infinitude of primes that was attributed to Euclid is the one that CompositeFan describes. I do like the proof that mathwizard supplies, though, as it is significantly shorter and easy to follow. On the other hand, perhaps this needs to be declared a correction (probably meta/minor) to the object. Unfortunately, this would mean that mathwizard would have to rewrite most of the entry.
Also, I've never come across the term "primorials" before. Is that standard mathematical terminology for multiplying a sequence of primes (which I think is what CompositeFan means by the term)?
