Critics Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

K. Ireland and M. Rosen

A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory

“Many mathematicians of this generation have reached the frontiers of research without having a good sense of the history of their subject. In number theory this historical ignorance is being alleviated by a number of fine recent books. This work stands among them as a unique and valuable contribution.”

— MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

“This is a great book, one that does exactly what it proposes to do, and does it well. For me, this is the go-to book whenever a student wants to do an advanced independent study project in number theory. … for a student who wants to get started on the subject and has taken a basic course on elementary number theory and the standard abstract algebra course, this is perfect.” (Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MathDL, January, 2006)
