Hi all, there are two more german articles about the discovery of M#39 available on the web:
http://www.wissenschaft.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=108430 This one is taken from the website of the popular scientific magazine "bild der wissenschaft". It already appeared on Dec. 4 shortly after "Sciene" had run the story. http://www.mathematik.de/01aktuelles/s1_2/s1_2.htm That one is taken from the german mathematicians association's website (see the entry labeled "Primzahlen! Ein neuer Weltrekord!! (12/2001)"). It gives some background information about primes in general as well as mersenne primes and GIMPS in special. You might want to trust the fish and parse the texts through http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Cheers, Michael __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
