Chinese Remainder Theorem: Applications in Computing, Coding, Cryptography
Ding, C. / Pei, D. / Salomaa, A.. 1996. 213 pages.
Categories: Mathematics |
The book covers some fun stuff, like the Chinese using the CRT to compute the numbers of
different size blocks required for building the Great Wall of China, and of Chinese generals
that had their soldiers line up in group of which the general merely counted the
remainder to keep their true numbers secret. But on the whole, this book is not for
someone with a casual interest in the subject, and definitely requires background in
number theory, information theory, and abstract algebra. Not light reading.
