For mathematicians, prime numbers are a thing of beauty. They are like atoms to a chemist or DNA to a geneticist, the fundamental blocks from which all whole numbers can be built. As any third grader ...

This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic describes several algorithms, namely, the integer division, the reduction mod B k — a, the precomputation of B ik mod m, ...

Informally, a dynamic system is any physical system that evolves with time (e.g., a pendulum, a planet orbiting the sun, the weather, etc). From a more mathematically precise perspective, one can ...

The FACTEX procedure constructs a fractional design for q-level factors using the Galois field (or finite field) of size q. This is a system with q elements and two operations + and ×, which satisfy ...
