The Joy of Factoring (Student Mathematical Library, 68, Band 68) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Wagstaff (computer science and mathematics, Purdue U.) shows why factoring is important and explains different approaches to factoring integers. Readers should have taken an introductory number theory course (though he reviews the necessary basics), be adept with calculus and linear algebra, be computer literate to the level of pseudocode and protocols, and be familiar with the notions of polynomial time and the non-deterministic polynomial-time class N P. The topics include why to factor integers, how factors are used, simple factoring algorithms, elliptic curves, and factoring devices. Answers and hints for exercises are appended.
