Elementary Number Theory Primes, Congruences, and Secrets
This is a
textbook about classical elementary number theory and elliptic curves. The first
part discusses elementary topics such as primes, factorization, continued
fractions, and quadratic forms, in the context of cryptography, computation, and
deep open research problems. The second part is about elliptic curves, their
applications to algorithmic problems, and their connections with problems in
number theory.
