A splendidly written, well selected and presented collection ... -- Martin Gardner.The theory of numbers is an ancient and fascinating branch of mathematics that plays an important role in modern computer theory. I recommend the book unreservedly to all readers, in or out of professional mathematics, who like to 'follow the gleam' of numbers.
No special training is needed -- just high school mathematics, a fondness for figures, and an inquisitive mind. It is also a popular topic among amateur mathematicians (who have made many contributions to the field) because of its accessibility: it does not require advanced knowledge of higher mathematics.This delightful volume, by two well-known mathematicians, invited readers to join a challenging expedition into the mystery and magic of number theory. Such a person will soon be absorbed and intrigued by the ideas and problems presented
