A Friendly Introduction to Number Theory, 4e

A friendly introduction to number theory, 4th edition is designed to introduce students to the overall themes and methodology of Mathematics through the detailed study of one particular facet–number theory. Starting with nothing more than basic high school Algebra, students are gradually led to the point of actively performing mathematical research while getting a glimpse of current mathematical frontiers. The writing is appropriate for the undergraduate audience and includes many numerical examples, which are analysed for patterns and used to make conjectures. Emphasis is on the methods used for proving theorems rather than on specific results.
