Editorial Review Product Description Readable discussions motivate new concepts and theorems before their formal definitions and statements are presented. Many theorems are preceded by Numerical Proof Previews, which are numerical examples that will help give students a concrete understanding of both the statements of the theorems and the ideas behind their proofs, before the statement and proof are formalized in more abstract terms. In addition, many applications of number theory are explained in detail throughout the text, including some that have rarely (if ever) appeared in textbooks. A unique feature of the book is that every chapter includes a math myth, a fictional story that introduces an important number theory topic in a friendly, inviting manner. Many of the exercise sets include in-depth Explorations, in which a series of exercises develop a topic that is related to the material in the section. Customer Reviews (5)

From Ore with love: old but instructive introduction to number theory.
A book for practically anyone At the end, for example, Ore talks of how number theory relates to geometry and I wish there were more of that in it. I took this book on a very long trip, worked through many of the problems and simply found it a wonderful companion.If you get it, enjoy.One caution: if you already know some number theory you may find this book too simplistic.Still, it's worth having.

Hamony? A good book (but not a great book). Very basic. For the more advanced historical approach, Andre Weil's Number Theory: An approach through history" is to be recommended. Or even Guy's book mentioned above.
Excellent theory interspersed with history |

Editorial Review Product Description Starting with nothing more than basic high school algebra, this volume leads readers gradually from basic algebra to the point of actively performing mathematical research while getting a glimpse of current mathematical frontiers. Features an informal writing style and includes many numerical examples. Emphasizes the methods used for proving theorems rather than specific results. Includes a new chapter on big-Oh notation and how it is used to describe the growth rate of number theoretic functions and to describe the complexity of algorithms. Provides a new chapter that introduces the theory of continued fractions. Includes a new chapter on “Continued Fractions, Square Roots and Pell’s Equation.” Contains additional historical material, including material on Pell’s equation and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. A useful reference for mathematics teachers. Customer Reviews (14)

Editorial Review Product Description The central theme of this book is the solution of Diophantine equations, i.e., equations or systems of polynomial equations which must be solved in integers, rational numbers or more generally in algebraic numbers. This theme, in particular, is the central motivation for the modern theory of arithmetic algebraic geometry. In this text, this is considered through three of its most basic aspects. The book contains more than 350 exercises and the text is largely self-contained. Much more sophisticated techniques have been brought to bear on the subject of Diophantine equations, and for this reason, the author has included five appendices on these techniques. |

good book However, the author give too much hints spoling the fun of solving the problems. Eg 32-36, 40-3, 59-53, 108-36, 136-17, 312-8, and most of the problems in chapter 8. The author should put these hints at the back of the book. I suggest you look up IMO (imo.math.ca) for problems suitable for chapter 1-7 because IMO is well-knowned for its excellent number theory problems (especially 1990-3). Overall this is an excellent book. I give it a rating of 4.5/5, I don't give it 5 because of the author give too much hints to problems instead of putting hints at back of the book.
Comprehensive Alas, it is pre-FLT. So you'll have to look elsewhere for that.
The best intro to the subject!
I've found a marvellous proof... |

Editorial Review Product Description "This book is the first volume of a two-volume textbook for undergraduates and is indeed the crystallization of a course offered by the author at the California Institute of Technology to undergraduates without any previous knowledge of number theory. For this reason, the book starts with the most elementary properties of the natural integers. Nevertheless, the text succeeds in presenting an enormous amount of material in little more than 300 pages."-—MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS Customer Reviews (6)
Introduction to Analytic Number Theory
Amazing
Exceptional readability
Unsurpassed SECOND text on number theory While this book does quickly cover elementary number theory, a reader new to this field will quickly feel lost.Without more exposure and a good prior feel for elementary number theory, the use of analytic techniques will seem ad hoc instead of following a logical pattern.By way of example, three areas covered in this book that are not part of analytic number theory and for which the reader would do better to learn from a less sophisticated text are the Fermat-Euler Theorem, Diophantine equations, and quadratic reciprocity. Excellent texts for a first exposure to number theory are, from simpler to more difficult: 1. Elementary Number Theory by Underwood Dudley 2. An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers by Niven, Zuckerman and Montgomery 3. An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers by Hardy and Wright Apostol's book on analytic number theory is a classic that may never be surpassed.It is a marvelous second book on number theory.

Great book for computational aspects
Definitely belongs on the shelf of all number theory lovers 1. Most of the algorithms on elliptic curves. The author reminds the reader that number-theoretical experiments resulted in the famous Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture and the Birch Conjecture. (a) the reduction algorithm, which for a given point in the upper half plane, gives the unique point in the half plane equivalent to this point under the action of the special linear group along with the matrix that maps these two points to each other. (b) The computation of the coefficient g2 and g3 of the Weierstrass equation of an elliptic curve. (c) The computation of the Weierstrass function and its derivative. (d) Determination of the periods of an elliptic curve over the real numbers. (e) The determination of the elliptic logarithm. (f) The reduction of a general cubic (f) The Shanks-Mestre algorithm for computing the order of an elliptic curve over a finite field F(p), where p is prime and greater than 457. (g) The reduction of an elliptic curve modulo p for p > 3. (h) The reduction of an elliptic curve modulo 2 or 3. (i) Reduction of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. (j) Determination of the rational torsion points of an elliptic curve. (k) Computation of the Hilbert class polynomials and thus a determination of the j-function of an elliptic curve. 2. A few of the algorithms on factoring. (a) The Pollard algorithm for finding non-trivial factors of composites. (The author does not give the improved algorithm due to P. Montgomery, but does give references) (b) Shanks Square Form Factorization algorithm for finding a non-trivial factor of an odd integer. (c) Lenstra's Elliptic Curve test for compositeness. 3. Primality tests (a) The Jacobi Sum Primality Test for a positive integer. (b) Goldwasser-Killian elliptic curve test for a positive integer not equal to 1 and coprime to 6. The author gives an overview of the computer packages used for number theory, including Pari, which was written by him and his collaborators. I have not used this package, but instead use Lydia and Mathematica for most of the number theoretic computations I need to do.
Excellent! Of course, CAS information from 1993, won't bethat helpful (look in his newest, Advanced Topics inC.A.N.T.). Excellent. Also try Knuth's "Semi-numericalAlgorithms" for a more computer oriented approach. ... Read more |
