It is also one of the most highly active and engaging areas of mathematics. Now into its eighth edition The Higher Arithmetic introduces the concepts and theorems of number theory in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers but also touches upon matters of deep mathematical significan…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Its popularity is based on a very readable style of exposition.’ EMS Newsletter
‘Although this book is not written as a textbook but rather as a work for the general reader, it could certainly be used as a textbook for an undergraduate course in number theory and, in the reviewer’s opinion, is far superior for this purpose to any other book in English.’ From a review of the first edition in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society ‘… the well-known and charming introduction to number theory … can be recommended both for independent study and as a reference text for a general mathematical audience.’ European Maths Society Journal
