Revue de presse
'Although this book is not written as a textbook but rather as a work for the general reader, it could certainly be used as a textbook for an undergraduate course in number theory and, in the reviewer's opinion, is far superior for this purpose to any other book in English.' From a review of the first edition in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
'... much enjoyable and profitable reading ...' L'Enseignement Mathématique
'... the seventh edition of the well-known and charming introduction to number theory ... it can be recommended both for independent study and as a reference text for a general mathematical audience.' European Maths Society Journal
Présentation de l'éditeur
Updated in a seventh edition, The Higher Arithmetic introduces concepts and theorems in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers, but still touches upon matters of deep mathematical significance.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Dr. Davenport introduces the higher arithmatic in this brief but rigorous essay. The Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University brings an extraordinarily clear prose to these sometimes opaque realms, offering a book that "will not be read without effort by those who are not, in some sense at least, mathematicians. But the difficulty is partly that of the subject itself. It cannot be evaded by using imperfect analogies, or by presenting the proofs in a way which may convey the main idea of the argument, but is inaccurate in detail. Such evasion would destroy the special interest of this most exact of all the sciences." Exacting college mathematics majors and advanced high school students will find a valuable and readable survey of factorization and the primes, congruences, quadratic residues, continued fractions, sums of squares, quadratic forms and some Diophantine equations. Extensive notes, references and bibliography complete this clearest of summaries, still the best beginning path to the purest of pure mathematics. Cover has protective adhesive covering. Previous owners initials on top of front endpaper. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Mathematics; Mathematics; ISBN: 0486244520. ISBN/EAN: 9780486244525.
