Summary: For over two centuries, the work of St. Petersburg mathematicians in number theory has constituted a glorious contribution to mathematics. The book The St. Petersburg School of Number Theory is about the life and work of six prominent members of this school, Chebyshev, Korkin, Zolotarev, Markov, Voronoi, and Vinogradov. The work of these mathematicians in number theory is indeed of the highest quality and continues to have lasting significance." "The book acquaints the reader with the most important works of these six eminent members of the St. Petersburg school. A short biography is given for each of them, followed by an exposition of some of his most significant contributions.
