We wish to thank the following people who have contributed to the Second

Edition:

New factors of numbers in the main tables were discovered by A. O. L. Atkin,

R. J. Baillie, R. P. Brent, J. A. Davis, H. Dubner, D. B. Holdridge, W. Keller,

Y. Kida, K. McCurdy, P. L. Montgomery, W. Niebuhr, N.W. Rickert, R. Silverman,

J. W. Smith, H. Suyama, H. J. J. te Riele, M. C. Wunderlich and SSW. The new

factors of Fermat numbers were found by R. J. Baillie, G. B. Gostin, W. Keller and

H. Suyama.

J.W. Tanner wrote a program which checked the new factors and inserted them

into the tables. M. Senn wrote a program to format the tables. The new prime

proofs were supplied by A. O. L. Atkin, A. K. Lenstra, A. Odlyzko, H. Suyama,

D. Tormey and SSW.

The new results of the second edition required hundreds of thousands of hours

of computer time. We are grateful to the directors and sta_s of the following computer

centers which provided this time: Australian National University Computer

Centre; Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill; Dutch Organization for the Advancement

of Pure Research and Control Data Corporation, Netherlands; MITRE

Corporation's research computer facility and its Bedford Computer Center; MPP

computer facility at Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD; Purdue University

Department of Computer Sciences; Rechenzentrum der Universitat Hamburg;

Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM; Supercomputing Research Center,

Lanham, MD and their Cray hardware engineers; Unisys Research and Development

Computer Facility, Santa Monica and Advanced Research Center, Huntsville;

University of Georgia O_ce of Computing and Information Services; University

of Illinois Computer-Based Education Research Laboratory; and the University of

Illinois at Chicago Computer Center.

SSW gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation

in the preparation of this edition and of the annual updates.
