Hi Gilles, Thank you for your response. These methods are used primarily in computational number theory applications. I myself came across the need for these algorithms when studying and implementing traditional and proposed variants of the Quadratic Sieve integer factorisation algorithm. But thes

Hi. Thanks for offering to contribute to Commons Math. However, this is a quite advanced topic, and I don't know whether Commons Math is the right place for this functionality. Could you provide more background information about who (or what applications) are the potential users for these algori

Hello all, I would like to create a class of some common number theory methods for the Commons Math library (or add methods the the BigInteger class). I am motivated to do this following a summer research project at my university (University of Calgary). I was/am implementing some factoring algori
