If you had the traditional engineering education, you’ve made your peace with calculus. If you haven’t, you may have learned it on your own, but for many people, calculus has a reputation for being ...

Logarithms, often abbreviated as “logs,” are an essential concept in mathematics, especially in algebra, calculus, and other advanced subjects. At first glance, they might seem intimidating and ...

Abstract: In this article, I will show how logarithms can be introduced without the apparatus of calculus, i.e., by only using the four basic arithmetic operations. This is a useful exercise because ...

In this short note we will discuss the discrete logarithm problem and also look at an implementation of a few probabilistic algorithms for computing discrete logarithms. These algorithms are ...

In this article, we examine how the index calculus approach for computing discrete logarithms in small genus hyperelliptic curves can be improved by introducing a double large prime variation. Two ...
