Bateman & Horn [1], building on Bateman & Stemmler [2], give a conjectured formula for the density of numbers that produce simultaneous primes in a number of fixed polynomials.


The constant is


$$C=\prod\_p\left\{\left(1-\frac1p\right)^{-k}\left(1-\frac{\omega(p)}{p}\right)\right\}$$


where $k$ is the number of polynomials and $\omega(p)$ is the number of residues (mod p) where at least one of the polynomials is divisible by $p$.


Is there a good way to calculate this constant for a given set of polynomials? I'm looking at polynomials with 'reasonable' degrees and constants, nothing like the recordbreaking monsters considered by (e.g.) Jacobson & Williams. Also, I don't need high precision (a dozen digits would be great), but of course direct computation is out of the question as the product converges too slowly to get even three or four digits of precision in a reasonable time.

If the formulas are unreadable with your software, as they are with mine, click on the link for the Postscript version, which looks fine on my machine.
