Underwood Dudley

Gebundenes Buch

A Guide to Elementary Number Theory

Beschreibung

Covers the topics considered in a first course in number theory. It is intended for those who may have seen the material before but have half-forgotten it, and also for those who may have misspent their youth by not having a course in number theory and who want to see what it is about without having to wade through a traditional text.
