About this title

Book Description

This book will enable the reader to reach the current frontier of research in this branch of number theory. It collects together all the most important results that were previously scattered through the literature as well as including a number of significant open questions. The book is written so as to be accessible to graduates who wish to pursue research in this area but will also form an invaluable reference work for established researchers.

Review

'The book is written in a relaxed style, and begins with some accessible introductory chapters ... It is nicely written and well explained, and proofs in the main are given in full. this book is certainly suitable for a non-expert in the area, or as a graduate course for an advanced student ... All in all, this is a very nice book.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
