What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘This is the only book in English entirely devoted to the subject and is thus an extremely valuable resource for both students and researchers alike.’ Mathematical Reviews
‘This is the only book in English entirely devoted to the subject and is thus an extremely valuable resource for both students and researchers alike.’ Mathematical Reviews “… a fascinating exploration and reexamination of both Liouville’s identities and “elementary” methods, providing revealing connections to modern techniques and proofs. Overall, the work contributes significantly to both number theory and the history of mathematics.” J. Johnson, Choice Magazine
