This text presents a logical development of number theory, focusing on the axiomatic development of number theory, showing how to prove theorems and understand the nature of number theory. Drawing applications from physics, statistics, computer science, mathematics, astronomy, cryptography and mechanics, this book features extensive worked examples which illustrate many number theory patterns. It treats applications in depth with substantive discussion of the context of each application.
