Having begun life as a mathematician (BA 1961), I still sometimes
play with numbers, whether or not I'm near a computer. I mostly start by
factoring them, so that I know what I've got. But I get lost juggling
more than about two or three three-digit numbers.
It would be nice to have a factoring applet -- which wouldn't
need to be vast nor intense enough to come anywhere near cryptographic
use, but just as a mildly entertaining time waster.
My guess is that it exists, and is either already in Fedora, or
can be handily installed. Anybody know?
