Extractions: Marin Mersenne Morto il 1 settembre 1648 a Parigi, Francia Marin Mersenne frequentò il college di Mans, poi, a partire dal 1604 passò cinque anni al collegio gesuita di La Fleche. Dal 1609 al 1611 studiò teologia nel Sorbonne. Mersenne indagò sui numeri primi e provò a trovare una formula che rappresentasse tutti i numeri primi. Sebbene abbia fallito in questo proposito, il suo lavoro sui numeri primi diede una formula: 2^p-1, p primo. Questa ha continuato a interessare la ricerca sui grandi primi. È semplice dimostrare che se un numero n=2^p-1 è primo p deve essere primo. Nel 1644 Mersenne disse che n è primo se p=2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 67, 127 e 257 ma non lo è per gli altri 44 numeri primi minori di 257. Nel 1633 Mersenne pubblicò il "Traitè des mouvements", e nel 1634 pubblicò "La mechanique de Galilée" che era una versione di una conferenza di Galileo sulla meccanica. Tradusse in francese parte del "Dialogo" di Galileo e nel 1639 pubblicò una traduzione di "Discorsi" di Galileo. È attraverso Mersenne che il lavoro di Galileo divenne famoso anche fuori dall’Italia. Due importanti pubblicazioni di fisica matematica furono "L’Harmonie Universelle" (1636) e "Cogitata Phisico- Mathematica". Mersenne scrisse anche " Traité d’harmonie universelle" (1627), un lavoro sulla musica, gli strumenti musicali e l’acustica.

39th Mersenne Prime Discovered The discovery marks only the 39th known mersenne prime, named after Marinmersenne , a 17th century French monk who studied the numbers. http://www.mersenne.org/13466917.htm
Extractions: -1 is now the Largest Known Prime. SAN DIEGO, California and ORLANDO, Florida, December 6, 2001 Michael Cameron, a 20 year-old volunteer in a worldwide research project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) , has discovered the largest known prime number using his PC and software by George Woltman and Entropia, Inc. as part of an international grid of more than 205,000 interconnected computers operated by the company. The new number, expressed in shorthand as 2 -1, contains 4,053,946 digits and was discovered November 14th. It belongs to a special class of rare prime numbers called Mersenne primes . The discovery marks only the 39th known Mersenne prime, named after Marin Mersenne , a 17th century French monk who studied the numbers. Mersenne primes are most relevant to number theory, but most participants join GIMPS simply for the fun of having a role in real research - and the chance of finding a new Mersenne prime. Cameron used a 800 MHz AMD T-Bird PC running part-time for 45 days to prove the number prime. He said, "A friend informed me that if I was going to leave my computer on all the time I should make use of that wasted CPU time. I put GIMPS on my PC because it does not interfere with my work on the computer. Finding the new prime was a wonderful surprise!"
