This book is a our through topics from number theory and modern algebra, including the Chinese remainder theorem, quadratic reciprocity and geometric construction of the regular 17, 257 and even the 65 537-gon, Galo is theory, and more. The book contains detailed proofs and many numerical examples with computer code.
