Sophie Germain (1776-1831) was largely self-taught in mathematics and, two centuries ago, in solitude, devised and implemented a plan to prove Fermats Last Theorem. Pengelley has taken excerpts of her writings and, by asking his readers to decipher...Loe edasi...

This book introduces number theory, developing examples before giving a formal definition and a theorem, to reveal how the concept arises naturally, to conjecture a theorem that describes an evident pattern, and to show how a proof of the theorem...Loe edasi...

A well-written, inviting textbook designed for a one-semester, junior-level course in elementary number theory. The approach throughout is geometric and intuitive; there are over 400 carefully designed exercises, which include a balance of calculati...Loe edasi...
Gives a comprehensive introduction to number theory, with complete proofs, worked examples, and exercises. The exposition reflects the most recent scholarship in mathematics and its history. Almost 500 sharp illustrations accompany elegant proofs, f...Loe edasi...

Weissman explores numbers, mostly whole numbers, equality and order, addition and multiplication, he says, leading to prime numbers, linear and quadratic equations, and number systems that are larger--or maybe just stranger--than whole numbers. T...Loe edasi...
Wagstaff (computer science and mathematics, Purdue U.) shows why factoring is important and explains different approaches to factoring integers. Readers should have taken an introductory number theory course (though he reviews the necessary basics),...Loe edasi...
