2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting subject but could be better written,
This review is from: Chinese Remainder Theorem: Applications (Hardcover)
I borrowed this book from the library, hoping to obtain insights in coding and cryptography through a better understanding of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. This theorem is a fascinating one, and I was happy to find (in the library catalog) a whole book on the subject, together with practical applications.Unfortunately, the book is not very well written. It uses some non-standard terminology, without any apparent reason, which just creates confusion for the reader. For example, it defines a cyclotomic polynomial over a field as x^n-1. Sure, the cyclotomic polynomials have a relationship with x^n-1, but that doesn't mean that x^n-1 is a cyclotomic polynomial. Another example is that the authors say that it is well known that GF(q)[x]/<x^n-1> is a principal ideal domain. Actually, it is not even an integral domain, much less a principal ideal domain. Rather, it is a principal ideal ring, which is a very different object than a principal ideal domain. |
