<br> This excellent book on number theory is detailed and readable. If the appropriate chapters are selected, it is suitable for upper-undergraduate and graduate levels..... The book contains excellent problems, a bibliography, and many references to computer applications. Rose's second edition can serve as a good textbook or a fine reference book and can be used for independent study by anyone interested in learning number theory. --The Mathematics Teacher<br> The book nicely presented central areas of numbers theory. --Dr. Jurgen Hurrelbrink, Louisiana State University--Baton Rouge<br> An extremely demanding text for undergraduates, but well-suited for a mathematician who wants to learn some number theory. --American Mathematical Monthly<br> The author shows an impeccable taste in his choice of topics and gives a lot of historical discussion, making this book a pleasant one to browse, and a great text on which to base a first undergraduate number theory course . . . .
