Mathematical Theory of Computation

With the target of constructing right into a technology the paintings of verifying desktop courses (debugging), the writer addresses either functional and theoretical elements of the method. A vintage of sequential application verification, this quantity has been translated into virtually a dozen different languages and is way well known between graduate and complicated undergraduate machine technology scholars.

Die Welt der Primzahlen: Geheimnisse und Rekorde

Die Welt der Primzahlen - in faszinierender Weise werden die wesentlichen Ergebnisse über die elementaren Bausteine der natürlichen Zahlen vorgestellt. Grundlegende Sätze und die wichtigsten offenen Fragen und ungelösten Probleme werden von einer wohl einmaligen Sammlung von Rekorden über Primzahlen begleitet.

Number Theory

Even supposing arithmetic majors are typically conversant with quantity concept by the point they've got accomplished a path in summary algebra, different undergraduates, in particular these in schooling and the liberal arts, usually want a extra easy advent to the subject. during this e-book the writer solves the matter of conserving the curiosity of scholars at either degrees by way of providing a combinatorial method of hassle-free quantity conception.
