Description for Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory
Hardcover. Details the historical development of the Number Theory. This text provides coverage of significant results with comparatively elementary proofs. It features two chapters that provide a complete proof of the Mordel-Weil theorem for elliptic curves over the rational numbers and an overview of progress on the arithmetic of elliptic curves. Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 394 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 243 x 166 x 29. Weight in Grams: 778.
Bridging the gap between elementary number theory and the systematic study of advanced topics, A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory is a well-developed and accessible text that requires only a familiarity with basic abstract algebra. Historical development is stressed throughout, along with wide-ranging coverage of significant results with comparatively elementary proofs, some of them new. An extensive bibliography and many challenging exercises are also included. This second edition has been corrected and contains two new chapters which provide a complete proof of the Mordell-Weil theorem for elliptic curves over the rational numbers, and an overview of recent progress on ...

Reviews for Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory
From the reviews of the second edition: K. Ireland and M. Rosen A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory "Many mathematicians of this generation have reached the frontiers of research without having a good sense of the history of their subject. In number theory this historical ignorance is being alleviated by a number of ... Read more
