Synopsis

Perfect for students approaching the subject for the first time, this book offers a superb overview of number theory. Now in its second edition, it has been thoroughly updated to feature up-to-the-minute treatments of key research, such as the most recent work on Fermat's coast theorem. Topics include divisibility and multiplicative functions, congruences and quadratic resolves, the basics of algebraic numbers and sums of squares, continued fractions, diophantine approximations and transcendence, quadratic forms, partitions, the prime numbers, diophantine equations, and elliptic curves. More advanced subjects such as the Gelfond-Schneider, prime number, and Mordell-Weil theorems are included as well. Each chapter contains numerous problems and solutions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The second edition of this undergraduate textbook is now available in paperback. Covering up-to-date as well as established material, it is the only textbook which deals with all the main areas of number theory, taught in the third year of a mathematics course. Each chapter ends with a collection of problems, and hints and sketch solutions are provided at the end of the book, together with useful tables.

Revue de presse

It is of interest both to students and teachers working in this field. (EMS Newsletter, No. 21, 1996)

An extremely demanding text for undergraduates, but well-suited for a mathematician who wants to learn some number theory. (American Mathematical Monthly)
