University of Central Missouri Math Whiz!
UCM used to be called CMSU (Central Missouri State University) in Warrensburg. When I was in school, we called it "Call Me Stupid University."
Anyway, math whiz at UCM discovers the largest known prime number, 17 million digits long. Wow! Story is here in the Manchester, England Guardian newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/al...million-digits |

Writing a program to compute prime numbers efficiently is CS 101. You just need the computer horsepower to crunch the numbers and sit back and wait.
