Rezensionen

From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "...the author is extremely knowledgeable in his subjects and the reader can profit from the wealth of material contained in this book. Therefore this book is a welcome reference for anyone interested both in trivia and in serious background material about popular topics in elementary number theory."

"The exposition is relaxed, with plenty of numerical examples, conjectures and other asides. Technicalities are largely avoided, so that a beginning graduate student could read and enjoy this without preparation." (D.R.Heath-Brown, zbMATH 0947.11001, 2022)
