- Summary:
- Primes is a definitive presentation on the most modern computational ideas about prime numbers and factoring and will stand as an excellent reference for this kind of computation, of interest to both researchers and educators. The book is timely, because primes and factoring have reached a certain vogue, partly due to their use in cryptography. A final chapter presents applications to mathematical finance via quasi-Monte Carlo theory. Historical comments are also included throughout. Valuable enhancement files and program code will be available via the web.
