Unusual Applications of Number Theory
Share this pageEdited by Melvyn B. Nathanson
A co-publication of the AMS and DIMACS
This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop held at
the DIMACS Center of Rutgers University (Piscataway, NJ) on Unusual
Applications of Number Theory. Standard applications of number theory
are to computer science and cryptology. In this volume, well-known
number theorist, Melvyn B. Nathanson, gathers articles from the
workshop on other, less standard applications in number theory, as
well as topics in number theory with potential applications in science
and engineering.
The material is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in
number theory and its applications.
Co-published with the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science beginning with Volume 8. Volumes 1–7 were co-published with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in number theory and applications.
