Includes bibliographical references (p. xix-xx) and index.
This volume is a translation of Dirichlet's Vorlesungen uber Zahlentheorie which includes nine supplements by Dedekind and an introduction by John Stillwell, who translated the volume."--BOOK JACKET. "Lectures on Number Theory is the first of its kind on the subject matter. It 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."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is suitable as a textbook, yet it also offers a fascinating historical perspective that links Gauss with modern number theory.
