DESCRIPTION
The book is an introduction to Number Theory, written in language accessible to undergraduate students from the second year.
Several important results are preceded by examples in order to illustrate the ideas used in the proofs. In addition to the problems proposed, there are a significant number of solved problems. For some important theorems combinatorial proofs are also presented.
