Fundamental Number Theory with Applications : Chapman & Hall/CRC : 9781420066593 : 1420066595 : 21 Feb 2008 : An update of the most accessible introductory number theory text available, Fundamental Number Theory with Applications, Second Edition presents a mathematically rigorous yet easy-to-follow treatment of the fundamentals and applications of the subject. The substantial amount of reorganizing makes this edition clearer and more elementary in its coverage. New to the Second Edition ?          Removal of all advanced material to be even more accessible in scope ?          New fundamental material, including partition theory, generating functions, and combinatorial number theory ?          Expanded coverage of random number generation, Diophantine analysis, and additive number theory ?          More applications to cryptography, primality testing, and factoring ?          An appendix on the recently discovered unconditional deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for primality
