Hi,
I have been reading postings with interest...
I have the idea that most people posting to the list are software
programmers.
I am a humble chemist more into 2,4-Dihydroxybenzene or
antivirals..(Acyclovir??)
I tried to install the version 19.0 expecting it on Win 98 to supplant my
existing files...but no joy..
I am already testing a LL exponent, and all it did was create another
version and give me other exponents to test..
I must admit the interface (GUI) on this is not as good as the Seti
programme...which I indulged in for one month...Correct me , but I thought I
would rather use my spare cycles for something a bit more tangible than
looking at a short bandwidth with fft for something that is quite
frankly..well...very UNTENABLE?
As a non-programmer totally illeterate(!) user of Prime 18 with a Cyrix
333MII.. 8-( I feellike left out of the equation, if you forgive the pun...
Really I want to know about the difference between floating point
computation and integer based calculations.
I really like this number theory exercise, primarily having read the work of
Andrew Wiles on proving
Taniyama-Shimura conjecture (Modular forms) -Eliptic equations...coupled
with Galois Representations and Hecke algebras...
I must admit, I like Hilbert best of all...
Perhaps somebody can write a programme for pur integer based
calculations.,???
Sorry, I am rambling....
All the best to Primenet and subscribers.
feedback much appreciated...
A poor chemist...(Could hardly understand Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle...8-)
