Book Reviews of An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers
Book Review: awesome book on number theory
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an undergrad student in computer engineering. I bought this book after I looked at the table of contents and found some topics which I interested in. This is by far the best book on number theory I ever came across. It is very readable, fairly free of errors (the ones that are there are easy to spot and do not cause confusion). In comparison to another number theory book I read before. This one has the charm of making previously confusing concept clear. Different proofs are often given on major theorems. I do not really have a good way to describe it, but this book really "flows". The logic is clear and easy to follow. If I read this one to start with, it would save me a lot of time and I would have a much better understanding of the subject by now. I know, this review is totally uninformative, you have to see it for yourself to be sure, but I totally recommend this one.
The only downside is the price dropped by like 20$ since I bought it.
Summary of An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers
An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers by G. H. Hardy and E. M. Wright is found on the reading list of virtually all elementary number theory courses and is widely regarded as the primary and classic text in elementary number theory. Developed under the guidance of D. R. Heath-Brown, this Sixth Edition of An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers has been extensively revised and updated to guide today's students through the key milestones and developments in number theory.Updates include a chapter by J. H. Silverman on one of the most important developments in number theory - modular elliptic curves and their role in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem -- a foreword by A. Wiles, and comprehensively updated end-of-chapter notes detailing the key developments in number theory. Suggestions for further reading are also included for the more avid reader.
The text retains the style and clarity of previous editions making it highly suitable for undergraduates in mathematics from the first year upwards as well as an essential reference for all number theorists.
