MERSENNE and FACEBOOK

pegaso56 · 2009-02-21, 01:43

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

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.

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

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.

I was thinking... what if some guys here make the sexiest

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

Best regards to all

Try to get Danica McKellar to join the group. 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.
