Number theory in science and communication : With applications in cryptography, physics, digital information, computing, and self-similarity
"Number Theory in Science and Communication" is a well-known introduction for non-mathematicians to this fascinating and useful branch of applied mathematics . It stresses intuitive understanding rather than abstract theory and highlights important concepts such as continued fractions, the golden ratio, quadratic residues and Chinese remainders, trapdoor functions, pseudoprimes and primitive elements. Their applications to problems in the real world are one of the main themes of the book. This revised fourth edition is augmented by recent advances in primes in progressions, twin primes, prime triplets, prime quadruplets and quintruplets, factoring with elliptic curves, quantum factoring, Golomb rulers and "baroque" integers.
Number Theory and the Periodicity of Matter
The book launch was held at the University of Pretoria (UP) on 26 March 2008. … It’s a fascinating and original concept and I hope you all get the opportunity to read it. It will challenge your current views of numbers. … If there is a link between numbers and the Periodic Table this will of course have major implications as to the ‘meaning’ on the Periodic Table. It’s great to have original thinkers in our midst
