Description for Elementary Number Theory: Primes, Congruences, and Secrets: A Computational Approach (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Classical number theory and elliptic curves are examined in this textbook, which moves on from elementary topics such as primes, continued fractions, and quadratic forms, to elliptic curves and their applications to algorithmic and number theory problems. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 178 pages, 45 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBH; PBMW. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 243 x 156 x 13. Weight in Grams: 406.
This is a book about prime numbers, congruences, secret messages, and elliptic curves that you can read cover to cover. It grew out of undergr- uate courses that the author taught at Harvard, UC San Diego, and the University of Washington. The systematic study of number theory was initiated around 300B. C. when Euclid proved that there are in?nitely many prime numbers, and also cleverly deduced the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, which asserts that every positive integer factors uniquely as a product of primes. Over a thousand years later (around 972A. D. ) Arab mathematicians formulated the congruent number problem ... Read more

Reviews for Elementary Number Theory: Primes, Congruences, and Secrets: A Computational Approach (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)
From the reviews: "This one treats topics that have become standard in recent years … and it has exercises with selected solutions. … it gives the students a tool to do calculations that illustrate even the most abstract concepts, and, simultaneously, introduces them to an open source software that can later be applied profitably for ...
