Riassunto

Preliminary Text. Do not use. The present book addresses a number of specific topics in computational number theory whereby the author is not attempting to be exhaustive in the choice of subjects. Written by an authority with great practical and teaching experience in the field, this book together with the author's earlier book will become the standard and indispensable reference on the subject.

Recensione

"Das vorliegende Buch ist eine Fortsetzung des bekannten erkes "A Course in Computational Algebraic Number Theory" (Graduate Texts in Mathematics 138) desselben Autors. ...
So ist das vorliegende Buch ein sehr umfängliches Nachschlagewerk zur algorithmischen Zahlentheorie, das zusammen mit dem ersten Buch des Autors sicherlich eine Standard-Referenz für zahlentheoretische Algorithmen darstellen wird."
