About this title

Review

From reviews of an earlier editions

"I continue to find ÝSchroeders¨ Number Theory a goldmine of valuable information. It is a marvellous book, in touch with the most recent applications of number theory and written with great clarity and humor. Philip Morrison (Scientific American)

"A light-hearted and readable volume with a wide range of applications to which the author has been a productive contributor useful mathematics outside the formalities of theorem and proof." Martin Gardner

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"This is the fourth edition of the classical title Number theory in Science and Communication written by a physicist . The book intends to be self-contained and the definitions and materials of Number theory are introduced and studied when they are needed, always with a view to showing their relationship and applications in the real world. References to the contents of each chapter are provided at the end of the book." (Juan Tena Ayuso, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1084, 2006)
