Based on a series of lectures at Haverford College, Hans Rademacher presents an accessible introduction to number theory that blends analysis and algebra. Requiring no prior knowledge of the subject, it covers foundational concepts like prime factorization, quadratic reciprocity, detailed cyclotomy, and Gaussian sums, while previewing analytic number theory. Rademacher’s unique approach remains influential, bridging foundational theory with modern analytical advances.
