Customer Reviews & Comments
The book is a mixture of (1) Mathematica programming insights I hadn't seen elsewhere --- taking my skills to a radically new level, (2) broad mathematical insights that, as a career mathematician, I really enjoyed, and (3) extremely narrow-focus material on primes and calendars, etc., that will be of interest to a select few. I was amazed to see that one computation --- finding the first two Wieferich primes --- was said to take 10.5667 seconds on a Sun workstation (in 1991 or before, I assume). On my Pentium II notebook PC, it took 0.04 seconds!
