Lattice Basis Reduction

Preface

This book is intended to be a n introductory textbook on lattice algorithms

for adva nce d undergraduate students o r beginning graduate students. It is

designed to be either the principal text for a one- or two-semester course

on lattice basis reduction, or a secondar y reference for course s on computer

algebra, cryptography, and computational algebraic number theory. It could

also be us e d as a source of topics for presentations in a n undergraduate sem-

inar. The book will be useful for graduate students a nd researchers in many

branches of pure and applied mathematics who need a us e r-friendly introduc-

tion to lattice algorithms, suitable ...
