Plot summary
Sam is a mischievous little boy, but mostly curious. He is very smart, and from the day he was born, Anastasia was jealous.
Reason for writing the novel
On her website Lowry states the reason for writing the novel as:
- "Sam was born when Anastasia was ten, and for a long time he existed only in the books about her. But kids liked him. Maybe he reminded them of their own little brothers. So at the request of young readers, I gave Sam his own series."
gollark: After realizing I had absolutely no idea how the "general number field sieve" and such worked, I just decided to implement Pollard's ρ one, but it requires gcd which Lua doesn't have, so I'm looking up the Euclidean algorithm.
gollark: So I wanted to do it in a convoluted way, so I looked at a bunch of prime factorization algorithms.
gollark: So I thought it would be funny if potatOS shipped with a program to factor primes for you.
gollark: And it asks you to factorize a prime number, for purposes. This is extremely easy, but some people don't think to look it up.
