Features an informal writing style and includes many numerical examples. Emphasizes the methods used for proving theorems rather than specific results. Includes a new chapter on big-Oh notation and how it is used to describe the growth rate of number theoretic functions and to describe the complexity of algorithms. Provides a new chapter that introduces the theory of continued fractions. Includes a new chapter on \";Continued Fractions, Square Roots and Pell’s Equation.\"; Contains additional historical material, including material on Pell’s equation and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. A useful reference for mathematics teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PEARSON EDUCATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44933969477685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0131861379","price":315.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780131861374_1ebb6079-49a9-49b0-8fe9-0c5d91d5aa39.jpg?v=1778632089","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-friendly-introduction-to-number-theory-9780131861374","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
