The theme of this book is the study of the distribution of integer powers modulo a prime number. It provides numerous new, sometimes quite unexpected, links between number theory and computer science as well as to other areas of mathematics. Possible applications include (but are not limited to) complexity theory, random number generation, cryptography, and coding theory. The main method discussed is based on bounds of exponential sums. Accordingly, the book contains many estimates of such sums, including new estimates of classical Gaussian sums. It also contains many open questions and proposals for further research.

This volume contains selected refereed papers based on lectures presented at the 'Integers Conference 2007', an international conference in combinatorial number theory that was held in Carrollton, Georgia in October 2007. The proceedings include contributions from many distinguished speakers, including George Andrews, Neil Hindman, Florian Luca, Carl Pomerance, Ken Ono and Igor E. Shparlinski. Among the topics considered in these papers are additive number theory, multiplicative number theory, sequences, elementary number theory, theory of partitions, and Ramsey theory.
