The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) invites participants to engage in a collaborative mathematical endeavor by downloading free software to search for new Mersenne primes. A significant incentive is offered, with a US$3,000 research discovery award available for those whose computer successfully identifies a new prime number with fewer than 100 million digits. This initiative combines technology and mathematics, encouraging contributions from individuals worldwide.
