Prime95 in the math book!

I just spotted him in one. It was pretty neat. It was the textbook for Pre Algebra.

George or the Prime95 program ( or both )?

Either though is quite an accomplishment and positive coverage.

Maybe some more people will join the mersenne search as a result !

Could you post the title of the book? I would be interested in having a look.

I saw his photo in Nov. 1996, when I decided to join GIMPS.

It was his genuine smile behind the glasses

that told me "here's the computer genius I'd like to be someday..."

Maybe the "trait-d'union" between math, computer science and fun.

Thanks George
