Number Theory: A Programmer's Guide

by Mark Herkommer

It's here . . . the first book to survey a full range of problems in number theory and apply it to the real world for real programmers. With many examples and solutions written in highly portable C, this down-to-earth guide shows you one step at a time how to apply number theory to computing tasks such as :

Finding prime numbers and factorization Solving Diophantine Equations Trial-and-error solution strategies Algorithm design Optimization Multiple precision arithmetic

If you've grown weary of number theory programming books that purport to be for programmers, and refer to computers as "computing machines," then you're ready for Mark Herkommer's Number Theory. In this one essential resource, you'll get a modern nuts-and-bolts take on number theory that caters to practically all your on-the-job programming needs - in language you can understand and put to work right away.

Looks like it helps you program some of the number theory concepts. I don't think I needed help to find out the programming language or program itself.
