Updated in a seventh edition, The Higher Arithmetic introduces concepts and theorems in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers, but still touches upon matters of deep mathematical significance.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Although this book is not written as a textbook but rather as a work for the general reader, it could certainly be used as a textbook for an undergraduate course in number theory and, in the reviewer's opinion, is far superior for this purpose to any other book in English.' From a review of the first edition in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society '... much enjoyable and profitable reading ...' L'Enseignement Mathematique '... the seventh edition of the well-known and charming introduction to number theory ... it can be recommended both for independent study and as a reference text for a general mathematical audience.' European Maths Society Journal
