Abstract
Now that we aare fitted out with a sturdy tool box of arithmetic functions that we developed in the previous chapters, we turn our attention to the implementation of several fundamental algorithms from the realm of number
I am dying to hear about it, since I always thought number theory was the Queen of Mathematics—the purest branch of mathematics—the one branch of mathematics which has NO applications!
—D. R. Hofstadter, Gödel, Escher, Bach
