A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory

A CLASSICAL INTRODUCTION TO MODERN NUMBER THEORY is a well-developed and accessible text that requires only a familiarity with basic abstract algebra. Historical developement is stressed throughout, along with wide-ranging coverage of significant results with comparitively elementary proofs, some of them new. This second edition has been corrected and contains two new chapters which provide a complete proof of the Mordel-Weil theorem for elliptic curves over the rational numbers, and an overview of recent progress on the arithmetic of elliptic curves.
