This book is intended for an introductory course in number theory, primarily taken by mathematics majors. The author wrote the text with four main goals in mind. He wrote a book that is both easy to read and easy to teach from. The author also aims to ease students into using proofs, and to develop a self-confidence in mathematics surrounding the difficulty of mathematical proof. Although the main users of this text will be mathematics students, a large audience could easily use the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on a standard subject,
By ptvn "ptvn" (middletown, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elementary number theory (Random House/Birkhauser mathematics series) (Hardcover)
I thought this book was a very good book on elementary number theory. It covered all the standard topics for such a book. The author was clear in his presentation of topics.

Not a bad book, but horribly expensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elementary Number Theory (Hardcover)
I had to get this book for an undergraduate class in number theory, so I had no choice but to shell out the cash. Price aside, it really is a decent textbook. It is easy enough to understand for even a non math person, and there is a nice range of easy, medium, and hard problems. Still, although I haven't looked at too many other textbooks, I bet you could find a book just as good for half the price.

Plenty of choices...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elementary Number Theory (Hardcover)
Another thin book on a standard subject with horrendous price. Another cheap effort hope to reap in good cash. Look elsewhere, plenty of choices.
