More of a study guide, insulting in scope in places In 400 pages you'll only go one-third the distance covered in Hardy and Wright, or Niven and Zuckerman. There is almost no emphasis on the more advanced areas of number theory, nor even a hint that such branches exist. Although many of the elementary, but unsolved conjectures are mentioned. But wait! Thebook does have some merit. The book is broken into bite-size pieces - number theory forAttention Deficit Disorders.Everything is broken up into these pieces, notes, problems, further readings. Even the proofs that aren't "beyond its scope" are broken up into lemmas.This book has more "problems with solutions" than any I've seen, which would make it a good study guide for more concise texts that leave all the problems to the reader. It is these problems and solutions that fill out the bulk of the text and limit its depth of coverage.(Hardy and Wright has only 24 more pages but covers so much more).
Excellent summary of basic number theory. Anyone who works through the materialshouldhave no difficulty with the more challengingclassics, like thoseof Hardy and Wright orthe more recent one by Hua. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Number theory, an ongoing rich area of mathematical exploration, is noted for its theoretical depth, with connections and applications to other fields from representation theory, to physics, cryptography, and more. While the forefront of number theory is replete with sophisticated and famous open problems, at its foundation are basic, elementary ideas that can stimulate and challenge beginning students. This lively introductory text focuses on a problem-solving approach to the subject. Key features of Number Theory: Structures, Examples, and Problems: * A rigorous exposition starts with the natural numbers and the basics. * Important concepts are presented with an example, which may also emphasize an application. The exposition moves systematically and intuitively to uncover deeper properties. * Topics include divisibility, unique factorization, modular arithmetic and the Chinese Remainder Theorem, Diophantine equations, quadratic residues, binomial coefficients, Fermat and Mersenne primes and other special numbers, and special sequences. Sections on mathematical induction and the pigeonhole principle, as well as a discussion of other number systems are covered. * Unique exercises reinforce and motivate the reader, with selected solutions to some of the problems. * Glossary, bibliography, and comprehensive index round out the text. Written by distinguished research mathematicians and renowned teachers, this text is a clear, accessible introduction to the subject and a source of fascinating problems and puzzles, from advanced high school students to undergraduates, their instructors, and general readers at all levels.

One Gem in Number Theory
Excellent book, very clear.A few errors still.
Second printing corrects most typos To some extent the author keeps the proofs short by leaving out steps, so you'll need to read it with pencil and paper nearby to work out the missing steps. The first printing was loaded with typographical errors; most (not all) of these are corrected in the 2000 second printing. Unfortunately not all the remaining typos are obviously typos; this combined with the brevity can make the exposition hard to follow. The first printing was fascinating (for its content) and exasperating (for its typos); the second printing is still fascinating, and occasionally exasperating. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
I'm no expert Bos on Riemann surfaces, and Stark on algebraic numbers and Galois theory, are tremendously clear and informative, on the basic math and also on the farther reaches relating it to number theory and physics. Those happen to be the ones I've read most. The chapters on elliptic curves, modular forms, p-adic analysis, are all very nice. I have not looked at the more physical chapters. The chapters assume basic real and complex analysis, but not very much. You need to be able to work with abstraction on the level of non-Archimedean metrics. If that is the limit of your background, then you'll have to be able to read about math that is not explained in full detail all the time, but is clearly layed out. ... Read more |

Perhaps biased
A wonderful insight into number theory There're some goodpoints featuring this book. It assumes no prerequisite in number theory.Just a bit knowledge about numbers and operations on them are needed.Results and theorems are closely related, allowing you to observe howthings are connected. Although not many examples are available, some arereally instructive and helpful enough to avoid misconceptions. However, it's a pity to say that the materials contained are not reallywell-organized, especially those in Chapter 7: the geometric arguments usedin the development of the continued fraction algorithm lack concision, anda few proofs are quite annoying because the author failed to justify someclaims that shuold not be treated as something "obvious". It canbe motivating just to provide readers guidelines about how to work outthose minor stuff, but such things shouldn't have been misleadingly called"proofs". Another problem is that the illustratons presented areoccasionally insufficient, and this is particularly the case in the chapterabout Diophantine equations. Novices in the subject can hardly rely on thetext to solve harder exercises contained without tracing out more techniquewhich is not emphasized. Overall, the book deserves to be a finereading for the interested ones new to number theory. But if you're seriousabout the topic, find an even better book instead. ... Read more |
