Reviews

[Robert Allen]

Try working problems 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 34, 44 and 45 of section 1.1 from the sketchy exposition provided.

Try working problems 5, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, and 24 from the sketchy exposition provided.in section 1.2

Try working out the proofs of Bertrand's Conjecture and Bonse's Inequality, topics which deserve their own exposition, asked for in the problems for Section 3.2.

Try understanding the least remainder theorem which deserves its own exposition, but instead is relegated to problems 14-18 of Section 3.4, much less working the problems themselves.

Problems 10-25 of Section 3.4 or over half are unworkable from the exposition!!!!!

Problems 19-42 of Section 7.5 cannot be worked from the exposition.

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

In addition numerous answers in the back of the book are completely unintelligible.

Rosen has gone out of his way to transmogrify an interesting subject into a nightmare of incomprehensibility and frustration and managed to collect royalties for it. I don't know who is more despicable, Rosen or the reviewers on this thread who are obviously lying through their teeth about this book.

In short, this book is roughly 500 pages of incomprehensible trash for which no one reading the dishonest reviews on this thread should be conned into shelling out his hard-earned dollars.

This book has a possibility to change the way that you see the set of integers and the underlying interactions that we have made up/discovered about them. One of the most beautiful books in all of mathematics

Banger Number Theory Text

[Joe Cole]

Good college textbook if you study Elementary Number Theory course

[Joe]

Read chapters 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14.

[John Hammond]

This was a good introductory text we using in my undergraduate Theory of Numbers course.
