Number Theory: An Introduction to Mathematics: Part B


Add your own review!

Overview

Undergraduate courses in mathematics are commonly of two types. On the one hand are courses in subjects - such as linear algebra or real analysis - with which it is considered that every student of mathematics should be acquainted. On the other hand are courses given by lecturers in their own areas of specialization, which are intended to serve as a preparation for research. But after taking courses of only these two types, students might not perceive the sometimes surprising interrelationships and analogies between different branches of mathematics, and students who do not go on to become professional mathematicians might never gain a clear understanding of the nature and extent of mathematics. The two-volume Number Theory: An Introduction to Mathematics attempts to provide such an understanding of the nature and extent of mathematics. It is a modern introduction to the theory of numbers, emphasizing its connections with other branches of mathematics. Part A, which should be accessible to a first-year undergraduate, deals with elementary number theory. Part B is more advanced than the first and should give the reader some idea of the scope of mathematics today. The connecting theme is the theory of numbers, at first sight one of the most abstruse and irrelevant branches of mathematics. Yet by exploring its many connections with other branches, we may obtain a broad picture.

Aus den Rezensionen: ... Die Grundidee besteht darin, ein Gefuhl der Einheit und der Vielfalt der Mathematik beizubringen. Dazu eignet sich Zahlentheorie besonders gut ... In diesem Sinne ist das Buch eine Einfuhrung in die Mathematik durch die Zahlentheorie ... Zunachst wird die Theorie padagogisch entwickelt, mit Beispielen oder einfachen Ergebnissen beginnend. In einem weiteren Abschnitt werden Verallgemeinerungen, Anwendungen, Verfeinerungen ohne Beweis erwahnt, historische und fachliche Anmerkungen hinzugefugt, und eine ausfuhrliche Literaturliste angegeben. ... ein schoener Text uber klassische Zahlentheorie. (G. Barat, in: Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, December/2009, Issue 12, S. 48 f.)
