Number Theory Arising from Finite Fields: Analytic and Probabilistic Theory offers a discussion of the advances and developments in the field of number theory arising from finite fields. It emphasizes mean-value theorems of multiplicative functions, the theory of additive formulations, and the normal distribution of values from additive functions. The work explores calculations from classical stages to emerging discoveries in alternative abstract prime number theorems.
Book News Annotation:
A reference covering advances and developments in the field,
emphasizing abstract prime number theorems, mean-value theorems of
multiplicative functions, and the normal distribution of values of
additive functions. Because interest in number theory arising from
finite fields has steadily increased, the work may be of interest in
various areas of pure and applied mathematics and also in computer
science and other sciences and technologies. Knopfmacher, who died in
1999, was founder of the Center for Applicable Analysis and Number
Theory, Johannesburg, South Africa. Zhang is affiliated with the U.
of West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica, and with the U. of Illinois,
Urbana.
