A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory Paperback / softback
by Kenneth Ireland, Michael Rosen
Part of the Graduate Texts in Mathematics series
Paperback / softback
Description
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 the arithmetic of elliptic curves.
