In this, one of the first books to appear in English on the
theory of numbers, the eminent mathematician Hermann Weyl explores
fundamental concepts in arithmetic. The book begins with the
definitions and properties of algebraic fields, which are relied
upon throughout. The theory of divisibility is then discussed, from
an axiomatic viewpoint, rather than by the use of ideals. There
follows an introduction to "p"-adic numbers and their uses, which
are so important in modern number theory, and the book culminates
with an extensive examination of algebraic number fields.
Weyl's own modest hope, that the work "will be of some use," has
more than been fulfilled, for the book's clarity, succinctness, and
importance rank it as a masterpiece of mathematical exposition.
