Rezensionen

"Das vorliegende Buch ist eine Fortsetzung des bekannten erkes "A Course in Computational Algebraic Number Theory" (Graduate Texts in Mathematics 138) desselben Autors. ... So ist das vorliegende Buch ein sehr umfängliches Nachschlagewerk zur algorithmischen Zahlentheorie, das zusammen mit dem ersten Buch des Autors sicherlich eine Standard-Referenz für zahlentheoretische Algorithmen darstellen wird."
