Algorithmic Number Theory: 5th International Symposium, ANTS-V, Sydney, Australia, July 7-12, 2002. Proceedings(2369 Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS-V, held in Sydney, Australia, in July 2002. The 34 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers have gone through a thorough round of reviewing, selection and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on number theory, arithmetic geometry, elliptic curves and CM, point counting, cryptography, function fields, discrete logarithms and factoring, Groebner bases, and complexity.

Review :
From the reviews: "The book contains 39 articles about computational algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry and cryptography. … The articles in this book reflect the broad interest of the organizing committee and the participants. The emphasis lies on the mathematical theory as well as on computational results. We recommend the book to students and researchers who want to read about current research in number theory and arithmetic geometry and its applications." (R. Carls, Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde, Vol. 6 (3), 2005)
