Description
A modern introduction to number theory, which is taught at most colleges and universities, primarily to math and CS majors, placing heavy and continuing emphasis on algorithmic aspects of the subject. The language of the algorithms used is that of the popular Mathematica, and a comprehensive set of notebooks will be included on a Web site. While the emphasis is on such modern topics as factorization and primality testing techniques, there is also extensive coverage of traditional number theory. Among the books features are numerous displayed computations and computer exercises for students.
