Richard E. Crandall is director of the Center for Advanced
Computation, Reed College, Portland, Oregon. He is the
discoverer of the irrational-base discrete weighted
transform (IBDWT) that is now used in Mersenne searches to
halve the required FFT lengths for Lucas-Lehmer squaring.
He is currently co-authoring a book with Carl Pomerance:
'Primes: a computational perspective.' Dr. Crandall is the
also the founder of Perfectly Scientific, Inc.
