Introduction to Number Theory is a classroom-tested,
student-friendly text that covers a diverse array of number theory
topics, from the ancient Euclidean algorithm for finding the
greatest common divisor of two integers to recent developments such
as cryptography, the theory of elliptic curves, and the negative
solution of Hilbert's tenth problem. The authors illustrate the
connections between number theory and other areas of mathematics,
including algebra, analysis, and combinatorics. They also describe
applications of number theory to real-world problems, such as
congruences in the ISBN system, modular arithmetic and Euler's
theorem in RSA encryption, and quadratic residues in the
construction of tournaments. Ideal for a one- or two-semester
undergraduate-level course, this Second Edition: Features a more
flexible structure that offers a greater range of options for
course design Adds new sections on the representations of integers
and the Chinese remainder theorem Expands exercise sets to
encompass a wider variety of problems, many of which relate number
theory to fields outside of mathematics (e.g., music) Provides
calculations for computational experimentation using SageMath, a
free open-source mathematics software system, as well as
Mathematica (R) and Maple (TM), online via a robust,
author-maintained website Includes a solutions manual with
qualifying course adoption By tackling both fundamental and
advanced subjects-and using worked examples, numerous exercises,
and popular software packages to ensure a practical
understanding-Introduction to Number Theory, Second Edition
instills a solid foundation of number theory knowledge.
