Description for An Invitation to Modern Number Theory
Hardback. In a manner accessible to beginning undergraduates, this book introduces many of the central problems, conjectures, results, and techniques of the field, such as the Riemann Hypothesis, Roth's Theorem, and more. Showing how experiments are used to test conjectures and prove theorems, it allows students to do original work on such problems. Num Pages: 528 pages, 20 line illus. BIC Classification: PBH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 239 x 166 x 42. Weight in Grams: 844.
In a manner accessible to beginning undergraduates, An Invitation to Modern Number Theory introduces many of the central problems, conjectures, results, and techniques of the field, such as the Riemann Hypothesis, Roth's Theorem, the Circle Method, and Random Matrix Theory. Showing how experiments are used to test conjectures and prove theorems, the book allows students to do original work on such problems, often using little more than calculus (though there are numerous remarks for those with deeper backgrounds). It shows students what number theory theorems are used for and what led to them and suggests problems for further research. Steven ... Read more
