Higher Arithmetic: An Algorithmic Introduction to Number Theory (Student Mathematical Library, 45) - Softcover
Synopsis
Following Gauss in his first systematic treatise on it in 1801, Edwards (emeritus, mathematics, New York U.) prefers higher arithmetic to number theory as the name for the general study of specific relations among whole numbers. Theory is about thinking, he explains, and arithmetic is about doing, and he found in his courses that students would rather do calculations than listen to him talk about them. Therefore, he includes many exercises in this introduction for readers who do not necessarily have a deep background in mathematics. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review
"Clean and elegant in the way it communicates with the reader, the mathematical spirit of this book remains very close to that of C.F. Gauss in his 1801 Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, almost as though Gauss had revised that classic for 21st-century readers." ---- CHOICE Magazine
"...takes the reader on a colorful journey..." ---- Mathematical Reviews
