Throughout the book a historical perspective has been adopted and emphasis is given to some of the subject's applied aspects; in particular the field of cryptography is highlighted. At the heart of the book are the major number theoretic accomplishments of Euclid, Fermat, Gauss, Legendre, and Euler, and to fully illustrate the properties of numbers and concepts developed in the text, a wealth of exercises have been included. It is assumed that the reader will have 'pencil in hand' and ready access to a calculator or computer. For students new to number theory, whatever their background, this is a stimulating and entertaining introduction to the subject. 606 $aNumber theory 615 0$aNumber theory. 676 $a512/.72 700 $aTattersall$b James J$g(James Joseph),$f1941-$062406 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450101703321 996 $aElementary number theory in nine chapters$9374646 997 $aUNINA
