"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, pseudo primes and primitive elements. Their applications to problems in the real world are one of the main themes of the book. This revised fifth edition is augmented by recent advances in coding theory, permutations and derangements and a chapter in quantum cryptography. From reviews of earlier editions – "I continue to find Schroeder’s Number Theory a goldmine of valuable information. It is a marvelous book, in touch with the most recent applications of number theory and written with great clarity and humor.’ Philip Morrison (Scientific American) "A light-hearted and readable volume with a wide range of applications to which the author has been a productive contributor – useful mathematics outside the formalities of theorem and proof." Martin Gardner

"As notable as the book's broad sweep is the author's good-natured, humorous presentation. The willing reader can sit back and enjoy an all-encompassing, irrepressibly enthusiastic tour, ranging from psycho physics to quasicrystals, from gambling strategies to Bach concertos, from the construction of Cantor sets to the design of concert halls." — Physics Today "Such a richness of topics and amazing splendor of illustrations!" — Mathematics Magazine "An inviting exposition for a literate but not highly scientific audience." — American Mathematical Monthly This fascinating book explores the connections between chaos theory, physics, biology, and mathematics. Its award-winning computer graphics, optical illusions, and games illustrate the concept of self-similarity, a typical property of fractals. Author Manfred Schroeder — hailed by Publishers Weekly as a modern Lewis Carroll — conveys memorable insights in the form of puns and puzzles that relate abstract mathematics to everyday experience. Excellent entertainment for readers with a grasp of algebra and some calculus, this book forms a fine university-level introduction to fractal math. Eight pages of color images clarify the text, along with numerous black-and-white illustrations.

Born in Ahlen, he studied at the University of Göttingen (1947-1952), earning a vordiplom in mathematics (1951) and doctorate
He wrote three books and published over 150 articles in his field national (1954) in physics. His thesis showed how small regular cavities in concert halls cause unfortunate resonances. He joined the technical staff at Bell Labs in New Jersey (since 1954) researching speech and graphics, securing forty-five patents.
With Bishnu Atal he was a promotor of linear predictive coding (1967).
Still affiliated with Bell, he rejoined University of Göttingen as Universitätsprofessor Physik (1969) becoming professor emeritus (1991). With Bachelor of Surgery Atal he developed code excited linear prediction (1985).
With Ning Xiang he was a promoter of a synchronous dual channel measurement method using reciprocal maximum-length sequences (2003). He led a famed study of 22 concert halls worldwide, leading to a comparison method requiring no traveling
He was a visiting professor at University of Tokyo (1979).
1969 First Prize at the International Computer Art Competition for his application of concepts from mathematics and physics to the creation of artistic works.
