Summary

Elementary Number Theory: A Combinatorial Approach

Although mathematics majors are usually conversant with number theory by the time they have completed a course in abstract algebra, other undergraduates, especially those in education and the liberal arts, often need a more basic introduction to the topic.

In this book the author solves the problem of maintaining the interest of students at both levels by offering a combinatorial approach to elementary number theory. In stud…

About The Author

George E. Andrews

George E. Andrews, Evan Pugh Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University, author of the text Number Theory (first published in 1971 and reprinted in 1994), has led an active career discovering fascinating phenomena in number theory. In 1975, on a visit to Trinity College in Cambridge to study the papers of George N. Watson, Andrews found the “Lost Notebook” of Srinivasa Ramanujan. The previously unknown notebook included an immense amount of Ramanujan’s original work bearing on mock theta functions. Collaborating with Bruce C. Berndt of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Andrews has since published the first two of a planned three-volume sequence based on Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook.

In the Author’s Own Words: “It seems to me that there’s this grand mathematical world out there, and I am wandering through it and discovering fascinating phenomena that often totally surprise me. I do not think of mathematics as invented but rather discovered.” - George E. Andrews
