MERSENNE and FACEBOOK
 

:smile:HI, What about spreading the idea of prime95 using Facebook. Any of us can make a group (i did one) and tell ours contacts about the benefits of using prime95 in their computers.
Cheers:tu:

Good idea using one of the most popular sites ... it is math at its finest, a matter of numbers; even if 0.1% of facebook signed up it would make a big difference.

:smile:Tx for the answer!! How many of the crunchers here are in Facebook??:razz:

I am. By the way, the word "obvious" is misspelled in the group description.

There are already at least two groups about Mersenne and number crunching in Facebook...

But make it 'sexy' ... a lot of people have bad feelings related to math.

:smile:I was thinking... what if some guys here make the sexiest :cool:approach to prime numbers, and math in general and when it´s ready we upload the work (credits included, of course) to our space in Facebook:grin:
Best regards to all:tu::tu::smile:

That would sexy it up. (For those unfamiliar, she is an actress with a published paper in math and books aimed toward youngsters, girls in specific.)

I remember that name. She was the the math department's commencement speaker at my graduation last year. I had never heard of her before that though.

:smile:Tx Uncwilly. I just made and account to post in her forum site.:tu:

I remember her as Kevin Arnold's girlfriend in "The Wonder Years", when I was a kid :)
