Many theorems are preceded by \u003ci\u003eNumerical Proof Previews\u003c\/i\u003e, which are numerical examples that will help give students a concrete understanding of both the statements of the theorems and the ideas behind their proofs, before the statement and proof are formalized in more abstract terms. In addition, many applications of number theory are explained in detail throughout the text, including some that have rarely (if ever) appeared in textbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA unique feature of the book is that every chapter includes a \u003ci\u003emath myth\u003c\/i\u003e, a fictional story that introduces an important number theory topic in a friendly, inviting manner. Many of the exercise sets include in-depth \u003ci\u003eExplorations\u003c\/i\u003e, in which a series of exercises develop a topic that is related to the material in the section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Pommersheim, Tim Marks, Erica Flapan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0470424133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470424131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.60w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011","brand":"James Pommersheim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181560721663,"sku":"9780470424131","price":183.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e4dd030-282d-44f5-b5ea-b8e3734267da.jpg?v=1690261084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/number-theory-james-pommersheim-9780470424131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
