Prime Numbers and Computer Methods for Factorization (Modern Birkhäuser Classics)
(Enlarged and updated for its second edition, this highly ...)
Enlarged and updated for its second edition, this highly readable book addresses four fundamental problems: the number of primes below a given limit, the approximate number of primes, the recognition of primes and the factorization of large numbers.

In the modern age of almost universal computer usage, practically every individual in a technologically developed society has routine access to the most up-to-date cryptographic technology that exists, the so-called RSA public-key cryptosystem. A major component of this system is the factorization of large numbers into their primes. Thus an ancient number-theory concept now plays a crucial role in communication among millions of people who may have little or no knowledge of even elementary mathematics. The independent structure of each chapter of the book makes it highly readable for a wide variety of mathematicians, students of applied number theory, and others interested in both study and research in number theory and cryptography.

Hans Ivar Riesel
Edit Profileeducator mathematician computer scientist
Education
Bachelor of Science, University Stockholm, 1951. Master of Science, University Stockholm, 1955. Doctor of Philosophy, University Stockholm, 1969.
Career
He held the record for the largest known prime from 1957 to 1961, when Alexander Hurwitz discovered a larger one. Riesel also discovered the Riesel numbers as well as developed the Lucas–Lehmer–Riesel test. After having worked at the Swedish Board for Computing Machinery, he was awarded his Doctor of Philosophy from Stockholm University in 1969 for his thesis Contributions to numerical number theory, and in the same year joined the Royal Institute of Technology as a senior lecturer and associate professor
