Algebra for Cryptologists (Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics and Technology)
by Alko R. MeijerThis textbook provides an introduction to the mathematics on which modern cryptology is based. It covers not only public key cryptography, the glamorous component of modern cryptology, but also pays considerable attention to secret key cryptography, its workhorse in practice. Modern cryptology has been described as the science of the integrity of information, covering all aspects like confidentiality, authenticity and non-repudiation and also including the protocols required for achieving these aims. In both theory and practice it requires notions and constructions from three major disciplines: computer science, electronic engineering and mathematics. Within mathematics, group theory, the theory of finite fields, and elementary number theory as well as some topics not normally covered in courses in algebra, such as the theory of Boolean functions and Shannon theory, are involved. Although essentially self-contained, a degree of mathematical maturity on the part of the reader is assumed, corresponding to his or her background in computer science or engineering. Algebra for Cryptologists is a textbook for an introductory course in cryptography or an upper undergraduate course in algebra, or for self-study in preparation for postgraduate study in cryptology.
Algebra for Symbolic Computation: Introduction To Computational Algebra (UNITEXT)
by Antonio MachiThis book deals with several topics in algebra useful for computer science applications and the symbolic treatment of algebraic problems, pointing out and discussing their algorithmic nature. The topics covered range from classical results such as the Euclidean algorithm, the Chinese remainder theorem, and polynomial interpolation, to p-adic expansions of rational and algebraic numbers and rational functions, to reach the problem of the polynomial factorisation, especially via Berlekamp's method, and the discrete Fourier transform. Basic algebra concepts are revised in a form suited for implementation on a computer algebra system.
Algebra für Höhlenmenschen und andere Anfänger: Eine Einführung in die Grundlagen der Mathematik (essentials)
by Jürgen BeetzWissen Sie schon alles über Zahlen? Es gibt gerade, krumme, gebrochene, aber wie viele? Und rechnen Sie immer richtig? Eine jährliche Inflationsrate von 3 Prozent ergibt nach 20 Jahren eine Preissteigerung von 60 Prozent - oder sind es 75 Prozent? Schon Ihre Vorfahren vor 10. 000 Jahren hatten bereits das Denken gelernt. Deswegen beschäftigen sie sich in diesen vergnüglichen Geschichten mit grundlegenden mathematischen Kenntnissen: mit Zahlen und Mengen, dem Rechnen und mathematischen Symbolen, Potenzen und ihren Umkehrungen (den Logarithmen), Klammern und Wurzeln, Zinsen und Prozenten, einfachen Gleichungen und ihrer Manipulation und schließlich mit tiefsinnigen Fragen um die Extreme: die Null und das Unendliche.
Algebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University Mathematics
by Mark V. LawsonAlgebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University Mathematics provides a bridge between high school and undergraduate mathematics courses on algebra and geometry. The author shows students how mathematics is more than a collection of methods by presenting important ideas and their historical origins throughout the text. He incorporates a hands-on approach to proofs and connects algebra and geometry to various applications. The text focuses on linear equations, polynomial equations, and quadratic forms. The first several chapters cover foundational topics, including the importance of proofs and properties commonly encountered when studying algebra. The remaining chapters form the mathematical core of the book. These chapters explain the solution of different kinds of algebraic equations, the nature of the solutions, and the interplay between geometry and algebra

by Mark V. LawsonAlgebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University Mathematics, Second Edition provides a bridge between high school and undergraduate mathematics courses on algebra and geometry. The author shows students how mathematics is more than a collection of methods by presenting important ideas and their historical origins throughout the text. He incorporates a hands-on approach to proofs and connects algebra and geometry to various applications. The text focuses on linear equations, polynomial equations, and quadratic forms. The first few chapters cover foundational topics, including the importance of proofs and a discussion of the properties commonly encountered when studying algebra. The remaining chapters form the mathematical core of the book. These chapters explain the solutions of different kinds of algebraic equations, the nature of the solutions, and the interplay between geometry and algebra. New to the second edition Several updated chapters, plus an all-new chapter discussing the construction of the real numbers by means of approximations by rational numbers Includes fifteen short ‘essays’ that are accessible to undergraduate readers, but which direct interested students to more advanced developments of the material Expanded references Contains chapter exercises with solutions provided online at www.routledge.com/9780367563035
Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics: AGMP, Mulhouse, France, October 2011 (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics #85)
by Abdenacer Makhlouf Eugen Paal Sergei D. Silvestrov Alexander StolinThis book collects the proceedings of the Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics Conference, held at the University of Haute Alsace, France, October 2011. Organized in the four areas of algebra, geometry, dynamical symmetries and conservation laws and mathematical physics and applications, the book covers deformation theory and quantization; Hom-algebras and n-ary algebraic structures; Hopf algebra, integrable systems and related math structures; jet theory and Weil bundles; Lie theory and applications; non-commutative and Lie algebra and more. The papers explore the interplay between research in contemporary mathematics and physics concerned with generalizations of the main structures of Lie theory aimed at quantization and discrete and non-commutative extensions of differential calculus and geometry, non-associative structures, actions of groups and semi-groups, non-commutative dynamics, non-commutative geometry and applications in physics and beyond. The book benefits a broad audience of researchers and advanced students.
