The Higher Arithmetic: An Introduction To The Theory Of Numbers

Updated in a seventh edition, The Higher Arithmetic introduces concepts and theorems in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers, and also touches on matters of deep mathematical significance. This new edition includes state of the art material on the use of computers in number theory, as well as taking full account of the proving of Fermat's last theorem.Review"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."
