Description for Course in Number Theory and Cryptography
Hardcover. An introduction to arithmetic topics that have been at the centre of interest in applications of number theory, particularly in cryptography. It begins with a discussion of the basic number theory that is needed. It takes an algorithmic approach, emphasising estimates of the efficiency of the techniques that arise from the theory. Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 245 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly.

. . . both Gauss and lesser mathematicians may be justified in rejoic ing that there is one science [number theory] at any rate, and that their own, whose very remoteness from ordinary human activities should keep it gentle and clean. - G. H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology, 1940 G. H. Hardy would have been surprised and probably displeased with the increasing interest in number theory for application to "ordinary human activities" such as information transmission (error-correcting codes) and cryptography (secret codes). Less than a half-century after Hardy wrote the words quoted above, it is no longer inconceivable (though it ... Read more
