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:
“I believe if we introduced the Lord’s Prayer here, senators would propose a large number of amendments to it.”
—Henry Wilson (1812–1875)
“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
