This book presents a historical overview of number theory. It
examines texts that span some thirty-six centuries of arithmetical
work, from an Old Babylonian tablet to Legendre's Essai sur la
Theorie des Nombres, written in 1798. Coverage employs a historical
approach in the analysis of problems and evolving methods of number
theory and their significance within mathematics. The book also
takes the reader into the workshops of four major authors of modern
number theory: Fermat, Euler, Lagrange and Legendre and presents a
detailed and critical examination of their work.
