Review: Undergrad math and phys major review - I picked up this book after taking a course in set theory/math logic. It was my first experience with proof based math and I found it very challenging and rewarding. I decided over the summer I would teach myself number theory as well. So far I am about 3 or 4 weeks into the summer and I've chopped down sections 1-6. Keep in mind I am also doing undergrad physics research and a directed study astrophysics course as well, you could easily progress further. I really have enjoyed this book thus far. I often get so caught up in it that I am up until morning toying with problems. The author did a fantastic job of finding the fine line between too difficult and elementary. It seems just short of a graduate text but a little above a common undergraduate text. Thanks to this text I am becoming much more confident in my ability to set up and execute proofs. I don't want to spoil the methods- but it seems MOSTLY up until this point all proofs are found in the same manner. I have not been able to execute a variety of proof methods (e.g. deduction, mathematical induction, contrapositive, and contradiction.) I would have liked to be able to switch it up some. However, I am no expert and this may be my own doing. If that is the best "CON" I can come up with for this book, that says a lot. I HIGHLY recommend ANY student who enjoys thinking to pick up this book and complete it in it's entirety. I feel deprived that I wasn't given this opportunity sooner. I am a 3rd year math+physics major. This book changed me from physics and chemistry to math and physics student and possibly from a physics grad student to a math grad. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #255,998 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Number Theory (Books) #286 in Mathematics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (155) | | Dimensions | 5.48 x 0.52 x 8.52 inches | | Edition | Second | | ISBN-10 | 048646931X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0486469317 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2008 | | Publisher | Dover Publications | ## Images ![Elementary Number Theory: Second Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eXeZDDAqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is great for study *by A***S on February 5, 2026* As a mathematician I love this book because you can do the proofs pretty easily and you can also explain this math easily to non mathematicians and have them interested in mathematics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Undergrad math and phys major review *by B***E on June 5, 2010* I picked up this book after taking a course in set theory/math logic.

Ahora los libros parecen fotocopias. En cuanto al contenido, es un libro de nivel básico, muy apropiado para principiantes. Está dividido en capítulos cortos y en los que se trata de forma concisa algún tema muy específico. A pesar de ser conciso, es un libro bien escrito, tiene ejemplos relevantes y varios ejercicios (algunos con respuesta). Para comenzar a leerlo solo es necesario tener matemáticas del colegio (algebra y aritmética esencialmente), no se requiere nada a nivel universitario. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elementary Number Theory: Second Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Number Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Introduction to Graph Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/3088904-elementary-number-theory-second-edition-dover-books-on-mathematics](https://www.desertcart.in/products/3088904-elementary-number-theory-second-edition-dover-books-on-mathematics) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
