The instructor may also choose from a collection of additional topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAligning with the trend toward smaller, essential texts in mathematics, the author strives for clarity of exposition. Proof techniques and proofs are presented slowly and clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book employs a versatile approach to the use of algebraic ideas. Instructors who wish to put this material into a broader context may do so, though the author introduces these concepts in a non-essential way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA final chapter discusses algebraic systems (like the Gaussian integers) presuming no previous exposure to abstract algebra. Studying general systems helps students to realize unique factorization into primes is a more subtle idea than may at first appear; students will find this chapter interesting, fun and quite accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplications of number theory include several sections on cryptography and other applications to further interest instructors and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308719513982,"sku":"NW9781032017204","price":50.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032017204.jpg?v=1778579374","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/introduction-to-number-theory-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
