Proof of Bertrand's Postulate for n≥ 6

Abstract

We add a few ideas to Erdos's proof of Bertrand's Postulate to produce one using a little calculus but requiring direct check only for n≤ 5 and one without using calculus and requiring direct check only for n≤ 12. The proofs can be presented to high school students.
