A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra
All of the mathematics required beyond basic calculus is developed "from scratch." Moreover, the book generally alternates between "theory" and "applications": one or two chapters on a particular set of purely mathematical concepts are followed by one or two chapters on...
