Computers as Novel Mathematical Reality. VI. Fermat numbers and their relatives
In this part, which constitutes a pendent to the part dedicated to Mersenne numbers, I continue to discuss the fantastic contributions towards the solution o classical problems of number theory achieved over the last decades with the use of computers. Specifically, I address primality testing, factorisations and the search of …
