Shamir's Threshold Scheme (Theory Part, Need some help understanding a term that I can't find online) What does the max(S, n) part mean, and what am I supposed to do with it? I somewhat understand, but it is still confusing. I don't know what it exactly represents. Can you help me please?
By definition, $\max(a,b)$ is the largest of $a$ and $b$. That's also the meaning in many computer languages, e.g. Python's max.

Thus $p&gt;\max(S,n)$ means: $p&gt;S$ and $p&gt;n$.
