This first volume in the series "History of the Theory of Numbers presents in twenty chapters the material related to the subjects of divisibility and primality. At the end of the volume is a separate index of authors for each of the chapters. Volume II: Diophantine Analysis (0-486-44233-0)and Volume III: Quadratic and Higher Forms (0-486-44234-9) complete the three-volume set. Accessible and well-indexed, the three books survey the works of leading experts and can be used independently of each other.
Suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this series is the work of a distinguished mathematician who taught at the University of Chicago for four decades and is celebrated for his many contributions to number theory and group theory.
