Book synopsis

This book is designed for a computationally intensive graduate course based around a collection of classical unsolved extremal problems for polynomials. These problems, all of which lend themselves to extensive§computational exploration, live at the interface of analysis,§combinatorics and number theory so the techniques involved are diverse.A main computational tool used is the LLL algorithm for finding small vectors in a lattice.§Many exercises and open research problems are included. Indeed one aim of the book is to tempt the able reader into the rich possibilities for research in this area.§Peter Borwein is Professor of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University and the Associate Director of the Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics. He is also the recipient of the Mathematical Association of America's Chauvenet Prize and the Merten M. Hasse Prize for expository§writing in mathematics. This introduction to computational number theory is centered on a number of problems that live at the interface of analytic, computational and Diophantine number theory, and provides a diverse collection of techniques for solving number- theoretic problems. There are many exercises and open research problems included.
