Algorithmic Algebraic Number Theory

Algorithmic Algebraic Number Theory is a branch of mathematics that combines algebra and number theory to study numbers and their properties using algorithms, which are step-by-step procedures for calculations. It focuses on understanding different number systems, like integers and rational numbers, and how they can be represented and manipulated efficiently. This field is important for developments in cryptography, coding theory, and computational mathematics, as it enables the creation of algorithms that solve complex problems related to prime numbers, factorization, and mathematical structures, making it essential in both theoretical research and practical applications in technology.
