Softcover. Zustand: Good. Dr. Davenport introduces the higher arithmatic in this brief but rigorous essay. The Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University brings an extraordinarily clear prose to these sometimes opaque realms, offering a book that "will not be read without effort by those who are not, in some sense at least, mathematicians. But the difficulty is partly that of the subject itself. It cannot be evaded by using imperfect analogies, or by presenting the proofs in a way which may convey the main idea of the argument, but is inaccurate in detail. Such evasion would destroy the special interest of this most exact of all the sciences." Exacting college mathematics majors and advanced high school students will find a valuable and readable survey of factorization and the primes, congruences, quadratic residues, continued fractions, sums of squares, quadratic forms and some Diophantine equations. Extensive notes, references and bibliography complete this clearest of summaries, still the best beginning path to the purest of pure mathematics. Cover has protective adhesive covering.
