During the Summer and Fall 2001 semesters, I wrote some programs that compute discrete logs using the index calculus method. The results have been posted as well. Just follow the link above.

During the Spring 2001 semester I wrote an 18 page paper entitled "The Life and Mathematical Contributions of Pierre de Fermat." Regrettably, this paper contains a few mistakes of which I am aware and probably many more of which I am not yet aware. But it's a good start. I'll go back and edit it more thoroughly when I find the time. If you find mistakes, please send me an email and let me know. Here it is: fermat.pdf | fermat.doc
