description: This text presents the principal ideas of classical number theory emphasizing the historical development of these results and the important figures who worked on them. It is intended to introduce third or fourth-year undergraduates to mathematical proofs by presenting them in a clear and simple way and by providing complete, step-by-step solutions to the problems with as much detail as students would be expected to provide themselves. This is the only book in number theory that provides detailed solutions to 800 problems, with complete references to the results used so that the student can follow each step of the argument.
