Preface
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. My goal in writing
this book was 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, I wanted to write a book that would 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.
Prerequisites. The mathematical prerequisites are minimal: no particular
mathematical concepts beyond what is taught in a typical undergraduate
calculus sequence are assumed.
The computer science prerequisites are also quite minimal: it is assumed
that the reader is proficient in programming, and has had some exposure
to the analysis of algorithms, essentially at the level of an undergraduate
course on algorithms and data structures
