Topics in Number Theory, Volumes I and II (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Classic two-part work now available in a single volume assumes no prior theoretical knowledge on reader's part and develops the subject fully. Volume I is a suitable first course text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Volume II requires a much higher level of mathematical maturity, including a working knowledge of the theory of analytic functions. Contents range from chapters on binary quadratic forms to the Thue-Siegel-Roth Theorem and the Prime Number Theorem. Includes numerous problems and hints for their solutions. 1956 edition. Supplementary Reading. List of Symbols. Index.

previously In Two Parts And Now One Book, This Work Develops The Subject Of Number Theory From The Beginning, Introducing Techniques And Results Of Classical And Modern Number Theory. The First Part Is A Self-contained Treatment Suitable As A First Course For Advanced Undergraduates And Beginning Graduate Students. Although Calculus Is Used In Two Chapters, No Other Technical Knowledge Is Required. Material In The Second Part Requires A Knowledge Of The Theory Of Analytic Functions, And Covers Topics Such As Binary Quadratic Forms, Algebraic Numbers, And Dirichlet's Theorem. This Is An Unabridged Republication Of A Book Originally Published By The Addison-wesley Publishing Company, Inc., Reading, Massachusetts, 1956. Annotation C. Book News, Inc., Portland, Or
