Computational Number Theory Abhijit Das Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
Developed from the author’s popular graduate-level course, this self-contained text presents a complete treatment of number-theoretic algorithms. Avoiding advanced algebra and requiring no prior experience with number theory or sophisticated algebraic tools, the book covers many computational aspects of number theory and highlights important and interesting engineering applications. It first builds the foundation of computational number theory by covering the arithmetic of integers and polynomials at a very basic level. It then discusses elliptic curves, primality testing, algorithms for integer factorization, computing discrete logarithms, and methods for sparse linear systems. The text also shows how number-theoretic tools are used in cryptography and cryptanalysis. With an emphasis on implementation issues, it uses the freely available number-theory calculator GP/PARI to demonstrate complex arithmetic computations. The text includes numerous examples and exercises throughout and omits lengthy proofs, making the material accessible to students and practitioners. • Explores many important computational issues and recent developments in number theory • Presents an elementary treatment of the material, eliminating the need for an extensive background in mathematics • Uses the GP/PARI number-theory calculator to illustrate complicated algorithms • Describes the application of number theory in public-key cryptography • Contains numerous examples and exercises, with some solutions in an appendix

Animesh Ray “Raval and Ray provide a comprehensive and modern exposition of a rapidly evolving field: network biology. This text will help biology, mathematics, and computer science students alike to become acquainted with the history and frontiers of research in this exciting area.” —Joshua B. Plotkin, University of Pennsylvania
“Finally a book has arrived that describes the basics of biological complexity. Written by leading scientists Raval and Ray, it provides a scholarly account of the concepts of network theory. It describes in great detail the experimental and computational methods for identifying and predicting biological networks and reveals how network analysis can be applied to solve fundamental questions in biology and medicine. Introduction to Biological Networks is easily the best read available on this important and rapidly developing field.” —Cornelis Murre, University of California-San Diego
The new research area of genomics-inspired network biology lacks an introductory book that enables both physical/computational scientists and biologists to obtain a general yet sufficiently rigorous perspective of current thinking.

Discrete Structures and Their Interactions
Algebraic Number Fields and Their Completions
Jason I. Brown
Nancy Childress
Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Arizona State University, Tempe, USA
This text is intended for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in mathematics who have taken an initial course in discrete mathematics or graph theory. The text introduces a number of discrete structures, such as hypergraphs, finite topologies, preorders, simplicial complexes, and order ideals of monomials, that most graduate students in combinatorics, and even some researchers in the field, seldom experience.
This book integrates local and global theory to reflect a very modern view of algebraic number theory. This approach is used whenever possible to make the book as accessible as possible to readers with some background in abstract algebra.
The author explains how the discrete structures have important applications in many areas inside and outside of combinatorics. He also shows how to recognize valuable research connections through these structures.
The author uses contemporary notation and includes numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises. Suitable for a course on algebraic number theory or as background reading on class field theory, the text covers localization, ramification theory, norms, Minkowski theory, the unit group, cyclotomic fields, and Dedekind domains. • Integrates the treatment of local and global theories
• Emphasizes the connections between different structures and fields
• Serves as a reference for advanced cryptography
• Illustrates how to use discrete structures to represent the salient features and discover the underlying combinatorial principles of seemingly unrelated areas of mathematics and computer science
• Includes exercises and examples
• Contains a variety of exercises that not only highlight the textual material but also encourage students to pursue research-level work
Selected Contents:
• Covers such topics as localization, ramification, norms, and cyclotomic fields

Discrete Mathematics with Ducks sarah-marie belcastro
New Directions of Modern Cryptography
Research Associate, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, USA
Zhenfu Cao Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
“When I used Discrete Mathematics with Ducks in class, I assigned readings and my students came to class full of questions and ideas. … these classes were a highlight of my teaching career. I give a lot of credit to this book, thanks to the author’s skill at blending rigor, great examples, casual humor, and precise writing.”
This volume presents the fundamental definitions, precise assumptions, and rigorous security proofs of cryptographic primitives and related protocols. It also describes how they originated from security requirements and how they are applied. The author provides vivid demonstrations of how modern cryptographic techniques can be used to solve security problems. The applications cover wired and wireless communication networks, satellite communication networks, multicast/broadcast and TV networks, and newly emerging networks. The book also.
—David Perkins, author of Calculus and Its Origins
“I think the discovery/exploratory/problem-solving approach is ABSOLUTELY the way this course should be taught, and of all the discrete books I have looked at, this text does the best job of supporting that kind of approach to the subject while still giving enough of the material in writing to fill in the gaps. … I found that the material provided and the instructor notes cut down on my prep time, and I definitely referred to them. Having the in-class activities included is a huge benefit to this book.” —Dana Rowland, Merrimack College
“… an incredible book … readable by students, useful for instructors, and constructed with style and flair.

Cryptology Combinatorics of Permutations Second Edition
Classical and Modern with Maplets Richard E. Klima Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, USA
Miklós Bóna University of Florida, Gainesville, USA
Neil P. Sigmon
“… an excellent book on an important subject.”
“All told, the authors have done an admirable job of balancing the competing goals of producing a text that can be read by people with limited mathematics background, but at the same time is maintained at a college level. This is not ‘cryptology for dummies,’ watered down to the point of uselessness, but is instead a book that, though accessible, requires an appropriate amount of effort and thought on the part of the reader. … This is a book that not only meets but exceeds its goal of being a suitable text for a course in cryptology for non-majors. It is highly recommended for anybody teaching such a course, and it certainly belongs in any good university library.”
—Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA Reviews, December 2012 (This book is in the MAA’s basic library list.)
“… a comprehensive, engaging, and eminently readable introduction to all aspects of the combinatorics of permutations. The chapter on pattern avoidance is especially timely and gives the first systematic treatment of this fascinating and active area of research. This book can be utilized at a variety of levels, from random samplings of the treasures therein to a comprehensive attempt to master all the material and solve all the exercises. In whatever direction the reader’s tastes lead, thorough enjoyment and appreciation of a beautiful area of combinatorics are certain to ensue.” —From the Foreword by Richard Stanley, MIT

In a clear, nontechnical manner, this text explains how fundamental mathematical concepts are the bases of cryptographic algorithms. It covers the Enigma machine and Navajo code used during World War II, describes the implementation and cryptanalysis of classical ciphers, and gives straightforward explanations of the AES, public-key ciphers, and message authentication. The book assumes minimal mathematical prerequisites and incorporates easy-to-use Maplets throughout that provide practical examples of the techniques. The Maplets are available for download online.

Transcendental Representations with Applications to Solids and Fluids
Combinatorial Scientific Computing Edited by
Uwe Naumann
L.M.B.C. Campos
RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Lisbon Technical University, Portugal
Olaf Schenk University of Lugano, Switzerland
Building on the author’s previous book Complex Analysis with Applications to Flows and Fields, this work focuses on four infinite representations: series expansions, series of fractions for meromorphic functions, infinite products for functions with infinitely many zeros, and continued fractions as alternative representations. The book also continues the application of complex functions to more classes of fields, including incompressible rotational flows, compressible irrotational flows, unsteady flows, rotating flows, surface tension and capillarity, deflection of membranes under load, torsion of rods by torques, plane elasticity, and plane viscous flows.
This volume explores the latest research on creating algorithms and software tools to solve key combinatorial problems on large-scale high-performance computing architectures. It focuses on load balancing and parallelization, large-scale optimization, algorithmic differentiation of numerical simulation code, sparse matrix software tools, and combinatorial challenges and applications in large-scale social networks. The authors unify these seemingly disparate areas through a common set of abstractions and algorithms.

Applications of Combinatorial Matrix Theory to Laplacian Matrices of Graphs Jason J. Molitierno Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA
“… this book works well as a reference textbook for undergraduates. Indeed, it is a distillation of a number of key results involving, specifically, the Laplacian matrix associated with a graph (which is sometimes called the ‘nodal admittance matrix’ by electrical engineers). … a well-written source of background on this growing field. The sources are some of the seminal ones in the field, and the book is accessible to undergraduates.” —John T. Saccoman, MAA Reviews, October 2012
