Abstract: The smart method of Gelfond-Shnirelman-Nair allows to obtain in elementary way a lower bound for the prime counting functions \(\pi(x)\) and \(\psi(x)\), in terms of the integral of suitable integer polynomials. A survey on the knowledge about the method together with a new approach and some new results are presented.
