Lehmer random number generator

The Lehmer random number generator (named after D. H. Lehmer), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n. The general formula is where the modulus m is a prime number or a power of a prime number, the multiplier a is an element of high multiplicative order modulo m (e.g., a primitive root modulo n), and the seed X0 is coprime to m. Other names are multiplicative linear congruential generator (MLCG) and multiplicative congruential generator (MCG). (Wikipedia).

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di

Lehmer Factor Stencils: A paper factoring machine before computers

In 1929, Derrick N. Lehmer published a set of paper stencils used to factor large numbers by hand before the advent of computers. We explain the math behind the stencils, which includes modular arithmetic, quadratic residues, and continued fractions, including my favourite mathematical vi

Factor Stencils Review / HowTo

Factor stencils based on a design from the 1920s by D. N. Lehmer. His will factor any number up to 3,000,000,000,000. Mine are smaller, so only factor up to 200,000. This is episode 37 of my video series about calculating devices. Visit my site for PDFs and SVGs to download and make your
