I propose to simplify this sentence:

K. Borodzin proved that 3^14,348,907 is an upper bound for the threshold that determines if a number is large.

to:

K. Borodzin proved that 3^14,348,907 is large enough.

It is fully understandable within context. With this sentence everybody will understand that it is pointless to use larger number (because 3^14,348,907 is large enough) as a threshold that determines if a number is large - so it is natural that this number is an upper bound for the threshold.

and this sentence:

In 2002 Liu Ming-Chit and Wang Tian-Ze lowered this upper bound to approximately 10¹³⁴⁶.

to:

In 2002 Liu Ming-Chit and Wang Tian-Ze lowered this treshold to approximately 10¹³⁴⁶.

I agree. Remember h in threshold if you make the edit. PrimeHunter 00:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
