Number Theory Arising From Finite Fields Analytic And Probabilistic Theory

By John Knopfmacher, Wen-Bin Zhang Copyright 2001

    "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.
