Primality testing in polynomial time : from randomized algorithms to "primes" is in P /

Publisher description: This book is devoted to algorithms for the venerable primality problem: Given a natural number n, decide whether it is prime or composite. The problem is basic in number theory, efficient algorithms that solve it, i.e., algorithms that run in a number of computational steps wh...
