Publisher's Synopsis
The author's main goal is to establish a strong connection with the readers in the hopes of increasing their understanding of number theory and inspiring them to discover the beauty of number theory.In this pursuit, several topics are discussed such as the division theorem, divisibility, congruences, prime numbers and the unique factorization theorem (the fundamental theorem of arithmetic), which are the most important tools for understanding more advanced subjects in Number Theory. Different concepts are gradually explained, in their natural order, making the exposition self-contained. Topics presented have several examples, theorems, and lots of problems to complete each chapter. Most of the problems have full solutions (in many cases more than one), but authors strongly advise the reader to try solving each problem independently before reading the solution provided.
