By <Carl Pomerance>. Slides for the ICERM meeting "Seventy-five years of Mathematics of Computation", 1–3 November 2018.
Online text: https://math.dartmouth.edu/~carlp/mathcomptalk2.pdf
Cited passages: slide 14 states <Pépin's test> and outlines its proof; slides 15–16 describe <Fermat numbers> and their role in <integer factorization>; slide 18 gives the <Gauss-Wantzel theorem> and distinguishes Gauss's construction result from Wantzel's necessity proof. Numerical records elsewhere in these 2018 slides are historical records, not claims about current records.
