Hasan:
The book serves as a solid introduction to number theory, though readers should be aware of a significant increase in complexity across the chapters. While the hard copy of the book is satisfactory, the Kindle version suffers from numerous quality issues. A notable drawback is the presentation of proofs; many lack intermediate steps, requiring considerable time and effort to fully understand them.

Este libro es un buen auxiliar en los primeros cursos de álgebra en la ESFM-IPN

Really a great book, consider theory plus many problems, but if you are just starting then don't go and try to solve everything from this book, as Many as you can solve,cuz more you do the more you will get familiar with the patterns and then you will be able to solve the problem you left. And I will also sujest that see some vedios of number theory in YouTube before buying, then you will not feel disheartened or unconfident.
Happy solving.

Good starting point for number theory.
Basic maths and algebra needed.

E' un libro poco pretenzioso che a prima vista sembrerebbe contenere solo risultati scontati. Ma in realtà è una miniera di vecchi problemi, però riproposti in maniera originale ed innovativa. Il geniaccio americano per i numeri sembra non aver ancora abbandonato le aule universitarie. Insomma tanti antichi spunti che costituiscono ancora una sfida per le nuove generazioni di studenti.

I had a number theory class back in the dark ages when i was studying Mathematics at OSU. Before I started this book I reviewed another number theory book. It was like deja vu - the method was exactly what I had seen before. In fact, it may have been the same book. Then I picked this up to go a little more in depth. I was a little thrown off at first. Pretty much the same things were covered but from such a vastly different angle it almost seemed like a whole different field of mathematics.
I can't say which viewpoint is the correct one (they both are, I guess) but, since the books are so inexpensive, I would suggest try each or using both. It is often eye-opening to see the same conclusion derived from attacking the problem from more than one angle.

I recently took a one-semester course using this text. I found it to be one of the best textbooks I've used so far. The exposition was clear and easy to digest, with just the right number of clarifications and examples. The exercises were numerous, challenging and illuminating. No background beyond very basic set theory is assumed, and in fact the writer goes very far out of his way to keep his exposition separate from abstract algebra. This is most evident in the chapter on primitive roots. I can't speak for the second half of the book, on additivity, but I can say with certainty that the first nine chapters are worth the effort.

George Andrews is the reigning expert on partitions in the mathematical community who has written many seminal papers on the subject over the past half-century! If you don't know what partitions are in the theoretical sense, don't worry, the text provides ample introduction. I don't think you can find a more elementary introduction to the difficult, but extraordinarily powerful and elegant theory of partitions. The book covers the basics of number theory well, but it is the chapters on partitions that make this text stand out. It covers the Rogers-Ramanujan identities as well as the Jacobi triple product identity. It is rare in the mathematical community that an expert in a subject also writes a ground-level introductory text - but that's what you have here. Thanks to the dover edition, it's now quite affordable.
