Overview: First book that covers all four areas: cryptography, coding theory, quasi-Monte Carlo methods, pseudo-random numbers.Contains material for courses on number theory, cryptography, coding theory and qua.This textbook effectively builds a bridge from basic number theory to recent advances in applied number theory. It presents the first unified account of the four major areas of application where number theory plays a fundamental role, namely cryptography, coding theory, quasi-Monte Carlo methods, and pseudorandom number generation, allowing the authors to delineate the manifold links an
