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.

From the Back Cover
This textbook covers the main topics in number theory as taught in universities throughout the world. Number theory deals mainly with properties of integers and rational numbers; it is not an organized theory in the usual sense but a vast collection of individual topics and results, with some coherent sub-theories and a long list of unsolved problems. This book excludes topics relying heavily on complex analysis and advanced algebraic number theory. The increased use of computers in number theory is reflected in many sections (with much greater emphasis in this edition). Some results of a more advanced nature are also given, including the Gelfond-Schneider theorem, the prime number theorem, and the Mordell-Weil theorem. The latest work on Fermat's last theorem is also briefly discussed. Each chapter ends with a collection of problems; hints or sketch solutions are given at the end of the book, together with various useful tables.
