Wolfram code
while the concerns about primary sources are valid (and this article could be improved in many other ways too), this numbering system is indeed (perhaps unfortunately) widely used; added a citation to a secondary source that directly confirms this

Sumer
→Name: fix the cuneiform in the first sentence: previous version had Akkadian cuneiform (šu-me-ru) mixed with a Sumerian transliteration (eme.gi7); both refer primarily to the language, not to the land (the rest of this section needs work too)

RSA (cryptosystem)
minor tweaks to 83d40m's light edit (revert to "hard" when discussing computational hardness, fix a few grammar and punctuation issues)

RSA (cryptosystem)
→Code: use λ instead of φ, use BigInteger.js methods instead of custom modular inverse code, take desired key length as input, loop if key generation fails, use modPow() instead of pow().mod()

RSA (cryptosystem)
consistently use λ(n) instead of φ(n), as most practical RSA implementations do, except for historical discussion (and the JS code, for now); also use \bmod and \pmod instead of ugly TeX hacks

Binomial proportion confidence interval
add equivalent formulas for normal approx. and Wilson score intervals obtained by multiplying the nominator and denominator by n, as these are often more computationally convenient; edit description to introduce n_S = np and n_F = n(1-p)

Cuneiform
→Syllabary: the reading wa = PI and the IA ligature are not original to Hittite; they're already found e.g. in the Code of Hammurabi (wi5 = GEŠTIN does seem to be a Hittite invention as far as I can tell)
