The book covers number theory and modern algebra and contains gapless readable

proofs, exercises with solutions and algorithms. A constructive approach

to the regular 17, 257 and 65 537-gon, to the representation of totally positive

real numbers as sums of squares of real numbers, including running computer

code. A solid introduction to cyclotomic polynomials, Galois theory, and more.

This book is available online, as ebook, and on the website

which contains a few pages as an introduction to the material and plan of this book.

Franz Rothe was professionally trained in flute before starting a career as a mathematician.

In North Carolina, he has continued his musical education with pianist Thomas Turner and flutist Irene Maddox. Rothe and the pianist Thomas Turner have been working together intensely during the years 1992 - 2003. For the musician Rothe, these were golden years.

Only all the energetic instruction and encouragement, from Thomas, and from pianist Heather

Coltman and flutist William Bennett have led to the publication of three CDs.
