It has taken me longer than I expected, but here it is: http://nguyenminh2.googlepages.com/sage_numtheory-crypto.pdf This is a short tutorial on using Sage to study elementary number theory and the RSA public key cryptosystem. By "short", I mean at most 10 pages. If anyone has write privileges on the www.sagemath.org server, you're welcome to put the above PDF document there or somewhere where folks can access them. Hope (new) users find the tutorial helpful in getting themselves familiar with Sage. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen Web: http://nguyenminh2.googlepages.com Blog: http://mvngu.wordpress.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
