Number Theory in Science and Communication is an introduction for non-mathematicians. The book stresses intuitive understanding rather than abstract theory and highlights important concepts such as continued fractions, the golden ratio, quadratic residues and Chinese remainders, trapdoor functions, pseudoprimes and primitive elements. Their applications to problems in the real world is one of the main themes of the book. This third edition is augmented by recent advances in primes in progressions, twin primes, prime triplets, prime quadruplets and quintruplets, factoring with elliptic curves, quantum factoring, Golomb rulers and "e;baroque"e; integers.

This latest edition of a popular introduction to number theory for non-mathematicians stresses intuitive understanding and highlights various important concepts such as the golden ratio, trapdoor functions, Chinese remainders and pseudoprimes.
