All,
I've done a bit more work on the FAQ, I added the two responses
Brian sent. I also broke it up into sections:
1 - introductory stuff
2 - The LL test
3 - Factoring and sieving
4 - Mersenne prime and factor distribution
5 - FFT and DWT
6 - History and Who cares
As the FAQ has grown to 14k, I will conserve our bandwidth, it is available
at http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
for any who care to read it.
Section one is pretty well covered (I might add something about nomeclature),
as are sections 2 and 3. In section 4 I need a fair amount of information
on mersenne prime distribution, and whether or not there are an infinity
of mersenne primes. I don't know if section 5 will ever get written, or
if it needs to be. If it does get written it probably won't be by me, since
I don't know enough about such things. I think that with the aid of Luke's
and Chris Caldwell's sites I should be able to do this pretty easily.
