Applications in Computational Number Theory
Well-known Monte Carlo algorithms include the Solovay–Strassen primality test, the Miller–Rabin primality test, and certain fast variants of the Schreier–Sims algorithm in computational group theory.

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or theory:
“Of all reformers Mr. Sentiment is the most powerful. It is incredible the number of evil practices he has put down: it is to be feared he will soon lack subjects, and that when he has made the working classes comfortable, and got bitter beer into proper-sized pint bottles, there will be nothing left for him to do.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“Frankly, these days, without a theory to go with it, I cant see a painting.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
