Don't buy a Jell-O advertisement
A book about a rabbit that makes Jell-O (purple, yellow, green, and red, to be exact).Most pages of the story talk about Jell-O.Give me a break.Why would I ever read this to my kids?Why use my precious time with my kids to fill their minds with garbage about brand-name sugary junk?I threw the book away.

More of a Story.
BROWN RABBIT'S DAY is the first book in Baker's rabbit books that I have read that is more of a story than a book used to teach a concept. I guess the book does illustrate the concept of time somewhat since in almost every scene, Brown Rabbit's alarm clock can be seen showing the passage of time. But, the clock really doesn't have anything to do with anything else in the story. Basically Brown Rabbit is having a party for his friends and he has to get everything set up. He makes some jello. Then his friends arrive. They play some games and then they go home. Then Brown Rabbit lays down and goes to sleep. End of story. Children will enjoy looking through this book, but since it doesn't really have any lesson or concept to teach, I find that the book isn't quite as good as some of the other ones in the series. But, it's still one children enjoy. ... Read more

wonderful book
This book is perfect for my 17 month old girl. We read it everyday near bedtime. She recognizes the bedtime routine, and I think it helps to make bedtime a sweet experience for her. The book ends with little rabbit falling asleep, so I lower my voice on the last page and tell her "sh." Last night she insisted I read the book three times in a row. I am buying more copies for my cousins and their new babies.

Wonderful touch and feel book
Both of my children loved this book. It is very sweet with lots of different touch and feel pages with a story that matches.A little more substance than most touch and feel books.

Little Rabbit's Bedtime
A must have for your little one. The easy text and tactile experience makeit fun to read and touch everytime.This is my one year olds favoritebook,or I should say used to be his favorite book. After much love and alot of page turning, we have destroyed our beloved bunny book.So- I'mbuying a new copy to replace the old-and I'm buying all my friends onetoo.-A great gift!!

Excellent tactile experience with soothing verse.
My daughter adores this book (18 mo. old). We got it when she was a few months old, and the pages are still holding up fairly well (only minor taping needed). The verse is soothing, and the characters bright and engaging. She loves feeling the different textures. Highly recommend foryour young one, or as a gift. ... Read more

Book Description
Number theory has a long and distinguished history and the concepts and problems relating to the subject have been instrumental in the foundation of much of mathematics. In this book, Professor Baker describes the rudiments of number theory in a concise, simple and direct manner. Though most of the text is classical in content, he includes many guides to further study which will stimulate the reader to delve into the great wealth of literature devoted to the subject. The book is based on Professor Baker's lectures given at the University of Cambridge and is intended for undergraduate students of mathematics. ... Read more

Fields Medalist
My copy of this book is worn out. It's hard to explain it's charm, perhaps it's the way it covers so much ground so quickly and fluidly (without leaving everything as an exercise for the reader). A particular emphasis on quadratics: residues, forms, class field - not surprising since the author himself won the Fields Medal for his work binary quadratic forms in 1970 and previously in 1966 proved a long-standing conjecture of Carl Gauss: The only imaginary quadratic fields with unique factorization are d = -1, -2, -3, -7, -11, -19, -43, -67 and -163.

apt title
This book packs in as many concepts as number theory books five times its length (divisibility, arithmetical functions, congruences, quadratic residues and forms and fields, and diophantine equations andapproximations) and is still (surprisingly) very clear.There are evenexercises to keep you busy. ...

Perfect for toddlers!
Alan Baker's artwork is great -- the rabbits are adorable, the flowers beautiful.The pictures are big and uncluttered. It's pleasant to read again and again and again and ...well, you know how toddlers are with favorite books! Best of all, though, are the BIG flaps children can lift to find a barking dog, meowing cat, etc.My 18mo. old laughs with delight as she finds the animals on each page.These flaps were made with toddlers in mind -- they're not inset in the page (which would make the hard to grasp). It's a sturdy book, too.We're on child #2 reading it at our house, and all the flaps are still intact.Amazing. ... Read more

Book Description
There is now much interplay between studies on logarithmic forms and deep aspects of arithmetic algebraic geometry. New light has been shed, for instance, on the famous conjectures of Tate and Shafarevich relating to abelian varieties and the associated celebrated discoveries of Faltings establishing the Mordell conjecture. This book gives an account of the theory of linear forms in the logarithms of algebraic numbers with special emphasis on the important developments of the past twenty-five years. The first part covers basic material in transcendental number theory but with a modern perspective. The remainder assumes some background in Lie algebras and group varieties, and covers, in some instances for the first time in book form, several advanced topics. The final chapter summarises other aspects of Diophantine geometry including hypergeometric theory and the André-Oort conjecture. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off this definitive survey of effective methods in Diophantine geometry. ... Read more

This book is an excellent playful approach to numbers.
My 2 1/2 year old loves this book.We have many other number books that she likes, but this book is her favorite.She knew how to count before I bought this book and now she really owns the concept of counting thingsout.The questions and concepts in this book are wonderful and creative. It is a challenging book. She has learned a lot from it. I highly recommendthis book for toddlers who like to count and be challenged.

Great Numbers Book -- But Not for Baby or Early Pre-Schooler
This is a wonderfully inventive book about numbers for children -- but you'll be disappointed if you buy it as your child's FIRST numbers book.

The book consists of number exercises that are just too sophisticatedfor a typical pre-schooler. My three-year-old loves the book but isinterested in the colorful illustrations and the idea of numbers, not theactual questions that the book poses.He just isn't ready for its brainteasers that require the child to scrutinize the page for clues to theanswers!

Your child may find the book charming because it features thesame adorable rabbits in Alan Baker's series, but don't expect too muchinteraction early on. ... Read more
