 11/6  Mathworld is back!!
       http://mathworld.wolfram.com
       \_ be that as it may, I will *never* buy a CRC product ever again.
          \_ Oh, there's no shame in never buying a CRC product again.
             Did you read the terms of the settlement they agreed to
             so they could get the site back up?  Basically, they're paying
             CRC off a lump sum, paying them for estimated future losses
             on an ongoing basis, agreeing that CRC has a copyright on their
             material, and guaranteeing CRC the rights to future material.
             Personally, I wish the site was still down and being fought for
             in court.

NKS 2004 Conference to Be Held in Boston NKS 2004, the second conference and minicourse devoted to the concepts in Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science (NKS), will take place this April 22-25 in Boston. Arbitrarily Long Progressions of Primes A new preprint by Green and Tao appears to establish the existence of prime arithmetic progressions of any length k, a result that has been conjectured for three quarters of a century but until now has defied proof. New NKS|Online, Functions, and MathWorld Websites Unveiled 2004 brings the rollout of NKS|Online, a major upgrade to The Wolfram Functions Site, and a new look for MathWorld to the internet. RSA-576 Factored A 174-digit number proposed as a challenge for current factorization algorithms has been factored into two 87-digit primes. References Visible links 1. Hidden links: 39.
