MBM Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 My son found a book that seems to be a good follow up to AoPS's Intro to Number Theory book for those whose kids might be ready for a bit more. It's called Elementary Number Theory and is by Underwood Dudley. ISBN-13 is 978-0-486-46931-7 ISBN-10 is 0-486-46931-X We paid about $15 for it, and my son loves it so far.

quark Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks so much for this recommendation! I have a Number Theory nut and was wondering what to do with his interests in case he finishes AoPS and wants more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattarrattat Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 MBM, thank you for posting this. Sounds like an interesting book to read from Amazon's review. I just purchased it from Walmart.com with store pickup. Total after tax for me is around $9.50. Amazon sells it only a little bit more with free shipping if your order is over $25.

MBM Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thought I'd mention another good number theory book. This one is called Introduction to Number Theory and is by CJ Bradley. It's put out by UKMT, United Kingdom Mathematics Trust, which is aimed toward competition math; however, the math books would be good for even a non-competitor who just wants to study.

kiana Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 One of the best things about this book is that it includes answers. I read it before and also recommend it. Another fun one, though, for anyone interested in the history of mathematics as well is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Number-History-Classics-Science-Mathematics/dp/0486656209/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks interesting. Might have to put it on the list of books to get. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 And yet one more: (you can never own enough math books :D) Introduction to Number Theory by Harold Stark My dd completed this one for EPGY's university-level number theory course after completing both AoPS Introductory and Intermediate level number theory classes. The intermediate level is available only as an online seminar so far, btw. I worked through it, too -great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermom1 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks You. My son is just taking that course currently. This will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that book will make a nice Christmas present. :) Ds has officially begun working on AoPS's Intermediate C&P, which -- hooray! -- he loves. I'm hoping this summer he can do the online Intermediate Number Theory course if it's offered then. His freshman year is busy, so unfortunately, there's no way he can do it in spring. Rats.
