<p>In the spirit of The Book of the One Thousand and One Nights, the authors offer 1001 problems in number theory in a way that entices the reader to immediately attack the next problem. Whether a novice or an experienced mathematician, anyone fascinated by numbers will find a great variety of problems--some simple, others more complex--that will provide them with a wonderful mathematical experience.</p>

1001 Problems in Classical Number Theory

<p>The authors assemble a fascinating collection of topics from analytic number theory that provides an introduction to the subject with a very clear and unique focus on the anatomy of integers, that is, on the study of the multiplicative structure of the integers. Some of the most important topics presented are the global and local behavior of arithmetic functions, an extensive study of smooth numbers, the Hardy-Ramanujan and Landau theorems, characters and the Dirichlet theorem, the $abc$ conjecture along with some of its applications, and sieve methods. The book concludes with a whole chapter on the index of composition of an integer. One of this book's best features is the collection of problems at the end of each chapter that have been chosen carefully to reinforce the material. The authors include solutions to the even-numbered problems, making this volume very appropriate for readers who want to test their understanding of the theory presented in the book.</p>
