Abstract

Hermann Minkowski, being more modest than Kronecker, once said “The primary source (Urquell) of all of mathematics are the integers.” Today, integer arithmetic is important in a wide spectrum of human activities and natural phenomena amenable to mathematic analysis.

“Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk.” — Leopold Kronecker
