{"product_id":"primes-and-programming-9780521409889","title":"Primes and Programming","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Giblin describes  in the context of an introduction to the theory of numbers  some of the more elementary methods for factorization and primality testing; that is  methods independent of a knowledge of other areas of mathematics. Indeed everything is developed from scratch so the mathematical prerequisites are minimal. An essential feature of the book is the large number of computer programs (written in Pascal) and a wealth of computational exercises and projects  in addition to more usual theory exercises. The theoretical development includes continued fractions and quadratic residues  directed always towards the two fundamental problems of primality testing and factorization. There is time  all the same  to include a number of topics and projects of a purely \"recreational\" nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647970140213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521409888","price":82.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521409889.jpg?v=1781700017","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/primes-and-programming-9780521409889","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
