Number Theory by Benjamin Fine, Gerhard Rosenberger - 9783319438733
Discover the fascinating world of number theory with "Number Theory: An Introduction via the Density of Primes." This comprehensive textbook, now in its second edition, offers a unique approach by focusing on the density and properties of prime numbers. It provides a solid foundation in standard number theory concepts, including the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, theory of congruences, quadratic reciprocity, arithmetic functions, and the distribution of primes. This edition expands on key areas with new coverage of p-adic numbers, Hensel's lemma, multiple zeta-values, and elliptic curve methods in primality testing. Key features include: * A thorough introduction to analytic number theory with full proofs of Dirichlet's Theorem and the Prime Number Theorem. * Concise treatment of algebraic number theory, detailing primes, prime factorizations in algebraic number fields, and unique factorization of ideals. * Discussion of the AKS algorithm, demonstrating that primality testing is a polynomial-time problem. * Exploration of interesting ancillary topics such as primality testing, cryptography, Fermat and Mersenne numbers, and Carmichael numbers. Designed for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this book requires only a basic knowledge of calculus, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra, with necessary concepts from abstract algebra and complex analysis introduced as needed. Its user-friendly style, historical context, and range of exercises make it ideal for both self-study and classroom use. Product Summary: Hardcover book on Number Theory by Benjamin Fine and Gerhard Rosenberger, published by Birkhäuser Cham. Features 413 pages, first edition, English language version, and includes 11 b/w and 1 color illustration. ISBN: 9783319438733.

Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
