Poised to become the leading reference in the field, the Handbook of Finite Fields is exclusively devoted to the theory and applications of finite fields. More than 80 international contributors compile state-of-the-art research in this definitive handbook. Edited by two renowned researchers, the book uses a uniform style and format throughout and each chapter is self contained and peer reviewed.
The first part of the book traces the history of finite fields through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The second part presents theoretical properties of finite fields, covering polynomials, special functions, sequences, algorithms, curves, and related computational aspects. The final part describes various mathematical and practical applications of finite fields in combinatorics, algebraic coding theory, cryptographic systems, biology, quantum information theory, engineering, and other areas. The book provides a comprehensive index and easy access to over 3,000 references, enabling you to quickly locate up-to-date facts and results regarding finite fields.
"... a brilliant, monumental work on the state of the art in theory and applications of finite fields. It's a must for everyone doing research in finite fields and their related areas. ... It presents such a huge amount of information readily available and masterly presented. Editors, contributors, and the publisher are equally congratulated for providing such a beautiful result not only for the finite field community, but also for those from the applied areas, especially cryptographers and coding theorists."
?Olaf Ninnemann, Berlin, in Zentralblatt MATH 1319
"The handbook will be very useful for senior-level students, teachers, and researchers in mathematics and computer science. It will also be useful for scientists, engineers, and practitioners. The handbook is well organized. ... It is likely to become a standard reference book for the theory and applications of finite fields. ... It will be a very useful addition to the libraries of academic and research institutions."
