Marin Mersenne (also known as Marinus Mersennus or le Père Mersenne; French: [maʁɛ̃ mɛʁsɛn]; 8 September 1588 – 1 September 1648) was a French polymath whose works touched a wide variety of fields. He is perhaps best known today among mathematicians for Mersenne prime numbers, those which can be written in the form Mn = 2n − 1 for some integer n. He also developed Mersenne's laws, which describe the harmonics of a vibrating string (such as may be found on guitars and pianos), and his seminal work on music theory, Harmonie universelle, for which he is referred to as the "father of acoustics". Mersenne, an ordained Catholic priest, had many contacts in the scientific world and has been called "the center of the world of science and mathematics during the first half of the 1600s" and, because of his ability to make connections between people and ideas, "the post-box of Europe". He was also a member of the Minim religious order and wrote and lectured on theology and philosophy. (Wikipedia).

Perfect Numbers and Mersenne Primes
Perfect numbers and Mersenne primes might seem like unrelated branches of math, but work by Euclid and Euler over 2000 years apart showed they are so deeply connected that a one-to-one correspondence exists between the even perfect numbers and the Mersenne primes. The existence of odd perf

Euclid's Perfects and Mersenne's Primes (visually)
In this video, we show a visual proof of a theorem first proved by Euclid. The theorem states that if 2 raised to the p minus 1 is prime, then 2 raised to the (p-1) multiplied by that prime must be perfect. We end with some commentary about perfect numbers and primes of this special form (

Sampling from a FINITE Population and the Mersenne Twister (11-2)
A population is finite if it is possible to count all its elements. The sampling method for a finite population is a simple random sample. We can use the RAND() function in Excel to select a sample from a finite population. The Mersenne Twister is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) use
