Items related to From Polynomials to Sums of Squares
This text and software describes a "journey" through algebra and number theory based on the central theme of factorization. It begins with basic knowledge of rational polynomials, gradually introduces other integral domains, and eventually arrives at sums of squares of integers. The treatment is made very concrete throughout the main text with illustrations using specific examples. More abstract material is confined to appendices. Other than familiarity with complex numbers and some elementary number theory, very little mathematical prerequisites are required. The accompanying software allows the reader to explore the subject further by removing the tedium of doing calculations by hand. Throughout the text there are practical activities, mostly involving the computer.

From the Back Cover:
The main purpose of this book is to show how some general algebraic ideas can be applied to give concrete results. For example, one of the main themes is that of factorization into primes and it is studied in detail in the context of polynomials and quadratic integers before being used to give results about which whole numbers can be expressed as sums or differences of squares.
