Review
"This excellent book on number theory is detailed and readable. If the appropriate chapters are selected, it is suitable for upper-undergraduate and graduate levels..... The book contains excellent problems, a bibliography, and many references to computer applications. Rose's second edition can serve as a good textbook or a fine reference book and can be used for independent study by anyone interested in learning number theory." --The Mathematics Teacher
"The book nicely presented central areas of numbers theory."--Dr. Jurgen Hurrelbrink, Louisiana State University--Baton Rouge
"An extremely demanding text for undergraduates, but well-suited for a mathematician who wants to learn some number theory." --American Mathematical Monthly
"The author shows an impeccable taste in his choice of topics and gives a lot of historical discussion, making this book a pleasant one to browse, and a great text on which to base a first undergraduate number theory course . . . . It should give students a tantalizing glimpse into a beautiful area of number theory, and inspire them to further explore the subject."--Mathematical Reviews
