Seventh edition of a classic elementary number theory book.
'Although this book is not written as a textbook but rather as a
work for the general reader, it could certainly be used as a
textbook for an undergraduate course in number theory and, in the
reviewer's opinion, is far superior for this purpose to any other
book in English.' From a review of the first edition in Bulletin of
the American Mathematical Society
'… much enjoyable and profitable reading …' L'Enseignement
Mathématique
'… the seventh edition of the well-known and charming introduction
to number theory … it can be recommended both for independent study
and as a reference text for a general mathematical audience.'
