Mehr zum Buch

A translation of Dirichlet's Vorlesungen über Zahlentheorie which includes nine supplements by Dedekind and an introduction by John Stillwell, who translated the volume. The book covers most of the topics that are standard in a modern first course on number theory, but also includes Dirichlet's famous results on class numbers and primes in arithmetic progressions. It is suitable as a textbook, yet it also offers a historical perspective that links Gauss with modern number theory.
