This book is about the theory and practice of integer factorization presented in a historic perspective. It describes about twenty algorithms for factoring and a dozen other number theory algorithms that support the factoring algorithms. Most algorithms are described both in words and in pseudocode to satisfy both number theorists and computer scientists. Each of the ten chapters begins with a concise summary of its contents. The book starts with a general explanation of why factoring integers is important. The next two chapters present number theory results that are relevant to factoring. Further on there is a chapter discussing, in particular, mechanical and electronic devices for factoring, as well as factoring using quantum physics and DNA molecules. Another chapter applies factoring to breaking certain cryptographic algorithms. Yet another chapter is devoted to practical vs. theoretical aspects of factoring. The book contains more than 100 examples illustrating various algorithms and theorems. It also contains more than 100 interesting exercises to test the reader's understanding. Hints or answers are given for about a third of the exercises. The book concludes with a dozen suggestions of possible new methods for factoring integers. This book is written for readers who want to learn more about the best methods of factoring integers, many reasons for factoring, and some history of this fascinating subject. It can be read by anyone who has taken a first course in number theory.

Factoring is the provision of cash to businesses against their sales invoices, with the factor taking on responsibility for debt collection. As a viable alternative to the bank overdraft, factoring is still overlooked by many businesses and their advisers, partly because of a lack of informed guidance on the subject. This book seeks to fill the gap by explaining in detail how factoring and invoice discounting work, providing an unbiased view of the industry, its services and strategic development in future. This book should be of interest to finance directors in small- and medium-sized companies, accountants, management consultants, bankers and solicitors.

The Monument returns as Walrus Audio's smaller Monument Harmonic Tap Tremolo V2 Guitar Effects Pedal. Factoring in features like assignable expression control and rate ramp up, this pedal will have a monumental, yet natural effect on your sound.

The Kink Roaster is designed to be a child’s first BMX bike. Its 12” wheels and frame make it just the right size for children to feel completely comfortable on their first pedaling bike. Factoring in standard BMX geometry and adapting them to a child’s needs makes the Roaster instantly comfortable for first time riders. The Roaster is built from Hi-Ten steel throughtout the frame, fork and bars creating a bike that can handle all the abuse a learning rider can throw at it. Unsealed hubs front and back are paired with Mission X7 rims and Mission Tracker 12" tires to keep things rolling smooth, while an adjustable Mission Weider combo seat keeps the rider comfortable as they grow. The Roaster also features a coaster brake in lieu of a lever-based brake system, that could be too difficult for some children to use at a young age. The Digital Orange color really pops and adds to the fun ride. Please note: The Kink Roaster 12" is designed for children aged 4 and up. Seat height adjustable from 15.5″-18.5″. ###section### Product Specs FRAME MATERIAL: 100% Hi-Ten Steel WHEEL SIZE: 12" TOP TUBE LENGTH: 12.5" CHAIN STAY LENGTH: 9.25" HEADTUBE ANGLE: 74° SEAT TUBE ANGLE: FORKS: 100% Hi-Ten Steel with Tapered Fork Legs BARS: - MATERIAL: Hi-Ten - TYPE: 2-Piece - RISE: 5" Rise - WIDTH: STEM: Alloy Front Load HEADSET: Threadless BRAKE MOUNTS: N/A BRAKES: Coaster Brake FRONT HUB: Loose Ball FRONT RIM: Single Wall REAR HUB: Loose Ball REAR RIM: Single Wall TYRES: 2.25" SPROCKET: 25t CRANKS: - MATERIAL: Alloy - TYPE: 1-Piece - ARM LENGTH: 92mm BB: USA Loose Ball PEDALS: Plastic SEAT: Combo Seat/Post GEARING: 25/9 WEIGHT: 16.14lbs (7.3kg) ###section### Product Highlights Small 12" wheels - Great for 2-5 year olds just starting out (Up to 3ft / 90cm tall) Specifically designed for the smaller rider, just starting out in BMX Strong Hi-Ten steel construction Adjustable seat height to fit riders as they grow Geometry designed with the smaller rider in mind ###shogun-image-section###

A description of 148 algorithms fundamental to number-theoretic computations, in particular for computations related to algebraic number theory, elliptic curves, primality testing and factoring. The first seven chapters guide readers to the heart of current research in computational algebraic number theory, including recent algorithms for computing class groups and units, as well as elliptic curve computations, while the last three chapters survey factoring and primality testing methods, including a detailed description of the number field sieve algorithm. The whole is rounded off with a description of available computer packages and some useful tables, backed by numerous exercises. Written by an authority in the field, and one with great practical and teaching experience, this is certain to become the standard and indispensable reference on the subject.

Using a unique teaching tool designed to motivate kids to learn, this volume visually explores the concepts of factoring and the role of prime and composite numbers. The playful and colorful monsters are designed to give children (and even older audiences) an intuitive understanding of the building blocks of numbers and the basics of multiplication. The introduction and appendices can also help adult readers answer questions about factoring from their young audience. The artwork is crisp and creative and the colors are bright and engaging, making this volume a welcome deviation from standard math texts. CRC Press Author and NPR's Math Guy Keith Devlin spoke with Scott Simon about how the book makes finding prime numbers fun. "This is one of the most amazing math books for kids I have ever seen...," Devlin says. "Great colors, it's wonderful, and yet because [Schwartz] knows the mathematics, he very skillfully and subtly embeds mathematical ideas into the drawings."

While most books on cryptography assume extensive mathematical background, this book gives simpler explanations for factoring with elliptic curves and with false witnesses, mixed shift register sequences, finite automata, diophantine public key ciphers, feedforward sequences, spectral cryptanalysis, Ramanujan's partition functions, and cryptanalysis of the human genome. It offers self-contained, tutorial-style chapters with worked examples The author is affiliated with the Telecommunications Research Center at Bradford University, UK. Annotation c.
