Proofs of basic theorems are presented inan interesting and comprehensive way that can be read and understood even bynon-majors with the exception in the last three chapters where a background inanalysis, measure theory and abstract algebra is required. The exercises are carefullychosen to broaden the understanding of the concepts. Moreover, these notesshed light on analytic number theory, a subject that is rarely seen or approachedby undergraduate students. One of the unique characteristics of these notes is thecareful choice of topics and its importance in the theory of numbers. The freedomis given in the last two chapters because of the advanced nature of the topics thatare presented.Thanks to professor Pavel Guerzhoy from University of Hawaii for his contributionin chapter six on continued fraction and to Professor Ramez Maalouf fromNotre Dame University, Lebanon for his contribution to chapter eight. 606 $aMathematics$2bisacsh 606 $aMathematics 615 7$aMathematics 615 0$aMathematics. 700 $aRaji$b Wissam$01253636 712 02$aThe Saylor Foundation 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910832946903321 996 $aAn Introductory Course in Elementary Number Theory$94320663 997 $aUNINA
