This book reproduces, with minor changes, the notes prepared for a
course given at Brigham Young University during the academic year
1984-1985. It is intended to be an introduction to the theory of
numbers. The audience consisted largely of undergraduate students
with no more background than high school mathematics. The
presentation was thus kept as elementary and self-contained as
possible. However, because the discussion was, generally, carried
far enough to introduce the audience to some areas of current
research, the book should also be useful to graduate students. The
only prerequisite to reading the book is an interest in and
aptitude for mathe matics. Though the topics may seem unrelated,
the study of diophantine equations has been our main goal. I am
indebted to several mathematicians whose published as well as
unpublished work has been freely used throughout this book. In
particular, the Phillips Lectures at Haverford College given by
Professor John T. Tate have been an important source of material
for the book. Some parts of Chapter 5 on algebraic curves are, for
example, based on these lectures."
