%C Comments from Michael Monagan on the computation of a(10) and a(11), Sep 01 2014: (Start)
%C I wrote a C program to compute them. Instead of storing monomials and coefficients, I just store monomials (presence of monomial means 1 mod 2) in an array - this saves a factor of 2 in space.
%C I used lexicographical order and packed the monomials in x,y,z into a 64 bit machine word: x^i y^j z^k is encoded as i*2^40+j*2^20+k. So the space needed to store p for n=10 is 3189761536 x 8 bytes = 25 gigs.
%C But the main gain is realizing that for the last step when we compute expand(p*g) mod 2, we don't need to save the product for the next iteration, so we just need to compute the number of terms in p*g mod 2 which we can do if we compute them in any monomial ordering without creating the product.
