Simple Number Theory in Perl 6
by Dana Jacobsen At: FOSDEM 2017 Number theory is the basis for much of modern cryptography, but it is alsoprovides many interesting small problems for programmers to solve. From one ofthe oldest algorithms to some new ones, we'll look at some ways to implementthem in Perl 6 and how the language helps makes this easier for us. Some ofthe topics covered will be primality, prime generation, factoring, and RSA. Room: K.4.201 Scheduled start: 2017-02-05 11:25:00
