More challenging exercises are included both in the textbook and in the instructor's manual. Elementary Number Theory with Applications 2e is ideally suited for undergraduate students and is especially appropriate for prospective and in-service math teachers at the high school and middle school levels.

This book is ideal for an undergraduate course in number theory...It is a complete package, not only demonstrating what is known and unknown, but the path to how it got that way. CHARLES ASCHBACHER, AMAZON READER REVIEW I read this book without letting it off my hands - like a detective novel or an exciting story. M. PERZ, AMAZON READER REVIEW

This is the only number theory book to show how modular systems can be employed to create beautiful designs, thus linking number theory with both geometry and art. It is also the only number theory book to deal with bar codes, Zip coes, International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN), and European Article Numbers (EAN)...Each section provides a wealth of carefully prepared, well-graded examples and exercises to enahnce the readers' understanding and problem-solving skills. -ZENTRALBLATT MATH
