Hua K Introduction to Number Theory 1982 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The reasons for writing this book have already been given in the preface to the original edition and it suffices to append a few more points.
In the original edition I collected various recent results in number theory and put them in a text book suitable for teaching purposes. The book contains: The elementary proof of the prime number theorem due to Selberg and Erdos; Roth's theorem; A.O. Gelfond's solution to Hilbert's seventh problem; Siegel's theorem on the class number of binary quadratic forms; Linnik's proof of the Hilbert­Waring theorem; Selberg's sieve method and Schnirelman's theorem on the Goldbach problem; Vinogradov's result concerning least quadratic non-residues. It also contains some of my own results, for example, on the estimation of complete trigonometric sums, on least primitive roots, and on the Prouhet-Tarry problem.
The reader can see that the book is much influenced by the work of Landau, Hardy, Mordell, Davenport, Vinogradov, Erdös and Mahler. In the quarter of a century between the two editions of the book there have been, of course, many new and exciting developments in number theory, and I am grateful to Professor Wang Yuan for incorporating many new results which will guide the reader to the literature concerning the latest developments
