Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Great book. I learned number theory on my own from this book (4th edition then) in high school. Great problems, and don’t skip he challenge ones. Everything is simply explained and mapped out for the beginner.

⭐Good

⭐This is an excellent book on the theory of numbers appropriate for a beginning graduate student who completed undergraduate introductory courses in number theory, advanced calculus, and linear algebra. In order to comprehend the material in this book, the student must poccess mathematically maturity, as they will be required to prove a good number of theorems throughout each chapter. I had the opportunity to use this book when I did my graduate level coursework in Number Theory.I especially like the chapters on Diophantine equations and continued fractions.

⭐so far so good.

⭐Really good topic, it’s interesting throughout the book.

⭐In many typical introductory texts, myriad example problems are given to instruct the reader. However, this text offers virtually no examples, but rather presents theorems and proofs in rapid succession. Good as a reference book, but poor for instruction, which surely is the purpose of an introductory book.

⭐This would be a good book if you’re just reading about mathematical theories and concepts for fun, but I did not find it useful in actually teaching the concepts. It was very confusing with very little explanation.

⭐Wrong edition delivered
