Review
`an important reference work which is certain to continue its long and successful life' Mathematical Reviews
`remains invaluable as a first course on the subject, and as a source of food for thought for anyone wishing to strike out on his own.' Matyc Journal
`Review from previous edition Mathematicians of all kinds will find the book pleasant and stimulating reading, and even experts on the theory of numbers will find that the authors have something new to say on many of the topics they have selected Each chapter is a model of clear exposition, and the notes at the ends of the chapters, with the references and suggestions for further reading, are invaluable.' Nature
`This fascinating book gives a full, vivid and exciting account of its subject, as far as this can be done without using too much advanced theory.' Mathematical Gazette
Reader Reviews
Every serious student of number theory should have this classic book on their shelf. Even though only "elementary" calculus and abstract algebra are used, a certain mathematical maturity is required. I feel the book is strongest in the area of elementary --not necessarily easy though -- analytic number theory (Hardy was a world class expert in analytic number theory). An elementary, but difficult proof of the Prime number Theorem using Selberg's Theorem is thoroughly covered in chapter 22.
