| Synopsis: |
Using mathematical tools from number theory and finite fields, Applied Algebra: Codes, Ciphers, and Discrete Algorithms, Second Edition presents practical methods for solving problems in data security and data integrity. It is designed for an applied algebra course for students who have had prior classes in abstract or linear algebra. While the content has been reworked and improved, this edition continues to cover many algorithms that arise in cryptography and error-control codes. New to the Second EditionA CD-ROM containing an interactive version of the book that is powered by Scientific Notebook (R), a mathematical word processor and easy-to-use computer algebra systemNew appendix that reviews prerequisite topics in algebra and number theoryDouble the number of exercisesInstead of a general study on finite groups, the book considers finite groups of permutations and develops just enough of the theory of finite fields to facilitate construction of the fields used for error-control codes and the Advanced Encryption Standard. It also deals with integers and polynomials. Explaining the mathematics as needed, this text thoroughly explores how mathematical techniques can be used to solve practical problems. About the AuthorsDarel W. Hardy is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics at Colorado State University.
