History of the Theory of Numbers, Volume II: Diophantine AnalysisThis second volume in the series 'History of the Theory of Numbers' presents twenty-six chapters of material related to Diophantine Analysis. At the end of the volume is a separate subject and author index. Volume I - Divisibility and Primality (0-486-44232-2)and Volume III - Quadratic and Higher Forms (0-486-44234-9) complete the three-volume set. Accessible and well-indexed, the three books survey the works of leading experts and can be used independently of each other. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this series is the work of a distinguished mathematician who taught at the University of Chicago for four decades and is celebrated for his many contributions to number theory and group theory. |
