This textbook effectively builds a bridge from basic number theory to recent advances in applied number theory. It presents the first unified account of the four major areas of application where number theory plays a fundamental role, namely cryptography, coding theory, quasiMonte Carlo methods, and pseudorandom number generation, allowing the authors to delineate the manifold links and interrelations between these areas.Number theory, which CarlFriedrich Gauss famously dubbed the queen of mathematics, has always been considered a very beautiful field of mathematics, producing lovely results and elegant proofs. While only very few reallife applications were known in the past, today number theory can be found in everyday life: in supermarket bar code scanners, in our cars GPS systems, in online banking, etc.Starting with a brief introductory course on number theory in Chapter 1, which makes the book more accessible for undergraduates, the authors describe the four main application areas in Chapters 25 and offer a glimpse of advanced results that are presented without proofs and require more advanced mathematical skills. In the last chapter they review several further applications of number theory, ranging from checkdigit systems to quantum computation and the organization of rastergraphics memory.Upperlevel undergraduates, graduates and researchers in the field of number theory will find this book to be a valuable resource.
