Marin Mersenne Marin Mersenne attended school at the College of Mans, Then, starting in 1604, he spent five years in the Jesuit College at La Fleche. From 1609 to 1611 he studied theology at the Sorbonne. Mersenne joined the religious order of the Minims in 1611. The name of the order comes since the Minims regard themselves as the least of all the religious; they devote themselves to prayer, study and scholarship. Mersenne continued his education within the order at Nigeon and then at Meaux. He returned to Paris where in 1612 he became a priest at the Place Royale. He taught philosophy at the Minim convent at Nevers from 1614 to 1618. In 1619 he returned again to Paris. His cell in Paris became a meeting place for Fermat, Pascal, Gassendi, Roberval, Beaugrand and others who later became the core of the French Academy. Mersenne corresponded with other eminent mathematicians and he played a major role in communicating mathematical knowledge throughout Europe at a time when there were no scientific journals. Mersenne investigated prime numbers and he tried to find a formula that would represent all primes. Although he failed in this, his work on numbers of the form 2

Mersenne's Accomplishments Many early writers felt that the numbers of the form 2 p - 1 were prime for all primes p, but in 1536 Hudalricus Regius showed that 2 - 1 = 2047 was not prime. By 1603 Pietro Cataldi had correctly verified that 2 - 1 and 2 - 1 were both prime, but then incorrectly stated 2 n -1 was also prime for 23, 29, 31 and 37. In 1640 Fermat showed Cataldi was wrong about 23 and 37; then Euler in 1738 showed Cataldi was also wrong about 29. Sometime later Euler showed Cataldi's assertion about 31 was correct.

Marin Mersenne Born on September 8, 1588 in Oize, Maine, France Attended the College of Mans From 1604-1609 attended the Jesuit College at La Fleche From 1609-1611 studied theology at the Sorbonne In 1611 joined the religious order of the Minims to devote time to prayer, study, and scholarship In 1612 became a priest at the Place Royale Taught philosophy at the Minim convent at Nevers from 1614-1618 In 1619 returned to Paris near Place Royale Died in Paris on September 1, 1648 Marin Mersenne was a mathematician, a natural philosopher, a theologian, a writer, and a teacher. It was said that he was an amateur mathematician. He studied prime numbers and tried to find a formula that would represent all primes. He was unable to do this but his work influenced others to continue what he had started. There was an interest in prime numbers before Marin Mersenne came on the scene. One formula for prime numbers was 2 n - 1 for all prime numbers n . Several mathematicians (Regius in 1536, Cataldi in 1603, Fermat in 1640) tested this formula and proved it true in some cases and not true in others. Mersenne stated in his book Cognita Physica-Mathematica that the numbers 2 n - 1 were prime for the primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 67, 127, and 257. It was this conjecture that connected his name to these primes. Mersenne’s peers expressed their doubts that he had actually tested his conjecture and Mersenne, at a later date, admitted he had not. It took until 1947 to completely check Mersenne’s list. It was determined during the 400 year period that Mersenne’s list was not entirely accurate and that the correct list was for
