Number theory and algebra play an increasingly significant role in computing and communications, as evidenced by the striking applications of these subjects to such fields as cryptography and coding theory. The goal of this book is to provide an introduction to number theory and algebra, with an emphasis on algorithms and applications, that would be accessible to a broad audience. In particular, this book should be accessible to typical students in computer science or mathematics who have a some amount of general mathematical experience, but without presuming too much specific mathematical knowledge.Added by mathwhiz on 2007-01-04 00:22:59
