The book provides a self-contained introduction to classical Number Theory. All the proofs of the individual theorems and the solutions of the exercises are being presented step by step. Some historical remarks are also presented.

The book will be directed to advanced undergraduate, beginning graduate students as well as to students who prepare for mathematical competitions (ex. Mathematical Olympiads and Putnam Mathematical competition).


This book is designed to introduce some of the most important theorems and results from number theory while testing the reader’s understanding through carefully selected Olympiad-caliber problems. These problems and their solutions provide the reader with an opportunity to sharpen their skills and to apply the theory. This framework guides the reader to an easy comprehension of some of the jewels of number theory.

The book is self-contained and rigorously presented. Various aspects will be of interest to graduate and undergraduate students in number theory, advanced high school students and the teachers who train them for mathematics competitions, as well as to scholars who will enjoy learning more about number theory.
