Line 45: The article currently claims this was named for [[Derrick Henry Lehmer]], but in the article on the father of D. H. Lehmer, [[Derrick Norman Lehmer]], he is credited. So was this named for the father, for the son, or for both? /[[Special:Contributions/80.71.135.103\|80.71.135.103]] ([[User talk:80.71.135.103\|talk]]) 11:12, 4 September 2013 (UTC) :The paper cited in the current article is by D.H. Lehmer, so I think that must be the correct attribution, unless the article itself should say differently (I must admit not having accessed it). If my memory serves, the article is referred to from Knuth's TAOCP (probably volume 1, or maybe the recent volume 4A, check their index) who can be trusted for historical accuracy, but I think he makes no claims about this being the very first reference.
