Kritik
From the reviews:

BULLETIN OF MATHEMATICS BOOKS

"?as a nice concluding chapter on Fermat? Last Theorem, with a brief discussion on the coup de grace."



G.A. Jones and J.M. Jones

Elementary Number Theory

"A welcome addition . . . a carefully and well-written book."-THE MATHEMATICAL GAZETTE

"This book would make an excellent text for an undergraduate course on number theory."
