The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Number Theory

ISBN-13: 9780821855010 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992

Opis

This work is based on the AMS Short Course The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Number Theory held in Orono, Maine, USA, in August 1991. The course provided some views into the great breadth of application of number theory outside cryptology and highlighted the power and applicability of number-theoretic ideas. Because number theory is one of the most accessible areas of mathematics, this book should be of use to a general mathematical audience as well as to researchers in other areas of science and engineering who wish to learn how number theory is being applied outside of mathematics.
