Budding mathematicians only!
This book has two parts: a very elementary introduction to number theory concentrating on congruences presented in a number of chapters. Each chapter ends with a set of straightforward numerical exercises. The second part consists of a set of problems presented at the end of each chapter but having no relation to the content of the chapter. Each problem is provided with a solution or outline of a solution. It is this set of problems that makes the book really interesting. The problems are challenging, in fact many of them appear as theorems in Hardy and Wrights' An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers (Oxford Science Publications).

I bought this book some thirty years ago when I studied mathematics at the university. Working through these problems greatly improved my problem solving abilities. To be able to work through the problems the only prerequisites are arithmetic and some elementary calculus. But be sure to have the right mind set, only for budding mathematicians! ... Read more

a rare book
The book get a very clear view about the trigonometrical sums in number theory and it's not so easy to find a work like this in the specialized literature.By the way it is a work of "first hand" that means that the author is one of the most important theorist in this field and much of the topics are originals.Last but not least the price is very very good. ...
