Fundamental number theory with applications. 2nd ed. (English) Zbl 1175.11001
Discrete Mathematics and its Applications. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press (ISBN 978-1-4200-6659-3/hbk). x, 369 p. (2008).
The second edition of this very interesting book includes a revision of its contents and a pledge for the publication of a second volume with advanced material for a second course in number theory. The new structure of this book consists of seven chapters: Arithmetic of the integers, modular arithmetic, primitive roots, quadratic residues, simple continued fractions and Diophantine approximation, additivity - sums of powers and Diophantine equations.
Each chapter includes many interesting applications and the book concludes with six significant appendices, solutions, bibliography and a list of symbols.
