Carl Pomerance is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Number theory; the quadratic sieve factoring algorithm
Carl Bernard Pomerance is an American mathematician renowned for computational and analytic number theory, best known for devising the quadratic sieve, a major integer-factorisation algorithm used to factor large numbers such as RSA-129. A prolific author, he has profoundly influenced the study of prime numbers and factoring. He is documented as Jewish in listings of Jewish figures in mathematics.
