Monte Carlo simulation has become one of the most important tools in all fields of science. Simulation methodology relies on a good source of numbers that appear to be random. These "pseudorandom" numbers must pass statistical tests just as random s
Number theory is the branch of pure mathematics concerned with the properties of numbers in general, and integers in particular, as well as the wider classes of problems that arise from their study.
The first Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium took place in May 1994 at Cornell University. The preface to its proceedings has the organizers expressing the hope that the meeting would be “the first in a long series of international conferences on t
