An Introduction To The Theory Of Numbers 6th Edition

Its fantastic. I highly recommend this book towards any pure math enthusiasts and applied ones who find it convenient in their time to read. It highlights some of the topics for students who are interested into doing research at an undergraduate level. Although strongly advise, I would recommend to attend an intro to number theory class, or try to do it yourself kind of learner before picking up this book. This book is filled with tons of pure number theory related topics while a few applied ones are embedded for those who are interested into using number theory in the real world. It may be boring at first, since there are not any exercises to do, like you normally find most in an introduction to number theory. Try to learn and understand number theory at a comfortable level so that you can understand some of the least to most advance level topics found in this book. Try it and you will see it for yourselves!

I am an undergrad student in computer engineering. I bought this book after I looked at the table of contents and found some topics which I interested in. This is by far the best book on number theory I ever came across. It is very readable, fairly free of errors (the ones that are there are easy to spot and do not cause confusion). In comparison to another number theory book I read before. This one has the charm of making previously confusing concept clear. Different proofs are often given on major theorems. I do not really have a good way to describe it, but this book really "flows". The logic is clear and easy to follow. If I read this one to start with, it would save me a lot of time and I would have a much better understanding of the subject by now. I know, this review is totally uninformative, you have to see it for yourself to be sure, but I totally recommend this one.The only downside is the price dropped by like 20$ since I bought it.

A worthwhile addition to anyone's mathematical library. Should not be used as a primary textbook for a class though! The book encompasses a vast array of number theoretical topics and is updated to include recent developments. However, the amount of typos is very unfortunate. Especially for such an old book. After the sixth edition, I would expect the typos in the text itself be essentially all corrected. However, they are there, in the worst places, causing me to scratch my head wondering "is this a typo?". Even the errata online has typos. Which makes me wonder, do they have an errata for the errata? Nonetheless, the book is great, I just with recent authors spent more time keeping it so.

I have owned the 4th edition for years. You might think that Hardy and Wright is dated and can't possibly be relevant, but check the data. You will find it cited in all the other number theory books and it is still being cited in journal articles as well.The biggest improvements have been pointed out by other reviewers so I'll just state them without discussion: more readable font/spacing and a much needed subject index. For the 45% reduction in price of the paperback, I couldn't afford to pass up this edition.4.5 stars

It's give the reader a great understanding of number theory. By far one of best out there on the market and great book for reference on the topic. For my number theory class; I use this book more than the assigned book. It give much better examples and explain the subject very well, and does it in a more depth than any other number theory book.

The book arrived safely in perfect condition and right on time. Thank you for packaging it so safely! I'm so excited to read it.

Very nice book. The proofs of the theorems aren't always obvious. It would have been better if some of them were presented more analytically. Also the book doesn't have exercises. They could be very useful for the reader, in order to understand in depth the true point of every chapter.
