John Pollard (mathematician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John M. Pollard is a British mathematician who has invented algorithms for the factorization of large numbers and for the calculation of discrete logarithms.
His factorization algorithms include the rho, p − 1, and the first version of the special number field sieve, which has since been improved by others.
His discrete logarithm algorithms include: the rho algorithm for logarithms and the kangaroo algorithm.
