Modern Birkhäuser Classics

Grosswald, Emil

Many of the important and creative developments in modern mathematics resulted from attempts to solve questions that originate in number theory. The publication of Emil Grosswald’s classic text presents an illuminating introduction to number theory. Combining the historical developments with the analytical approach, Topics from the Theory of Numbers offers the reader a diverse range of subjects to investigate, including: (1) divisibility, (2) congruences, (3) the Riemann zeta function, (4) Diophantine equations and Fermat’s conjecture, (5) the theory of partitions.

Comprehensive in nature, Topics from the Theory of Numbers is an ideal text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students alike.
