商品簡介
Duverney (Baggio Engineering School, France) introduces graduate and advanced undergraduate students, professional mathematicians, math teachers, and mathematically educated lay readers to number theory. He assumes readers to have completed undergraduate courses in algebra and calculus of one or two variables; a few parts of the book require a basic knowledge of complex analysis. He emphasizes two sets of problems named after Diophantus of Alexandria (fl. ca. 250 BC), who wrote the first known book on number theory: problems in which the unknowns are integers, and irrationality and transcendence problems.
