Higher Arithmetic
American Mathematical Society (Verlag)
978-0-8218-4439-7 (ISBN)
Although number theorists have sometimes shunned and even disparaged computation in the past, today's applications of number theory to cryptography and computer security demand vast arithmetical computations. These demands have shifted the focus of studies in number theory and have changed attitudes toward computation itself.
