Reviews

"""This is a nice introduction to elementary number theory, designed for use in a basic undergraduate course. It can be used also for advanced high school students taking an accessible approach for an independent study. The book underlines the role of number theory in pure mathematics and its applications to cryptography and other areas."" —Zentralblatt MATH 1322"
