Explore the deep structure of binary quadratic forms and their number-theory connections. This authoritative volume surveys invariants, semi-invariants, and modular covariants, tracing how modern arithmetic tools illuminate classical problems in form classification and class numbers.
In this edition, readers encounter the development of genus theory, explicit formulas for class numbers, and the interplay between discriminants, primes, and modular relations. The text weaves together foundational theorems of Gauss, Dirichlet, Kronecker, and Lebesgue with later refinements, offering a detailed map of the landscape of binary quadratic forms and their higher‑order companions.
Ideal for readers of advanced number theory, algebraic forms, or the history of arithmetic methods, this book serves as a rigorous bridge between classical results and modern perspectives.
