*Abstract
Finding fast algorithms for deciding whether a large integer N is a prime or not, and also eventually factoring N if it is composite, are of great importance both in theory and in practice. The course will concentrate solely on the question of primality testing. It will begin by discussing the Miller-Rabin primality test, which is known, subject to the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, to run in polynomial time. It will then explain the Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena primality test, and prove unconditionally that it runs in polynomial time. No prior knowledge of these questions will be assumed in the course.
