This lecture is part of my Berkeley math 115 course "Introduction to number theory"
For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yHsr3EFj53L8sMbzIhhXSAOpuZ1Fov8
We give some more examples of numerical algorithms, such as as algorithm to find square roots of -1, and a factoring algorithm, and a prime testing algorithm that works on some Carmichael numbers.
The textbook is "An introduction to the theory of numbers" by Niven, Zuckerman, and Montgomery (5th edition).
