Additional information

Based on the author’s bookNumber Theory in Science and Communication: With Applications in Cryptography, Physics, Biology, Digital Information and Computing (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984). A second edition, to be published in October 1985, contains new sections on error-free computing (based on p-adic numbers), applications of the Zech logarithm and generalized Legendre sequences to the design of phase arrays, optimum ambiguity functions (for radar and sonar) and spread-spectrum communication systems. A new chapter treats the connection between number theory and self-similarity, fractals and quasicrystals (a recently discovered new state of matter).
