I observed an Algebra class recently where students were trying to multiply two polynomials, (x + 5) and (3x 2 - 5x - 4). And as I roamed the room, I noticed several students who were stuck because ...

The classical Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) architecture represents the best solution for the implementation of many general purpose algorithms. This structure is found in DSPs, and also in some ...

Equations, like numbers, cannot always be split into simpler elements. Researchers have now proved that such “prime” equations become ubiquitous as equations grow larger. Prime numbers get all the ...

A C implementation of Niederreiter's algorithm for factoring polynomials over F 2 is described. The most time-consuming part of this algorithm, which consists of setting up and solving a certain ...
