The instructor may also choose from a collection of additional topics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAligning with the trend toward smaller, essential texts in mathematics, the author strives for clarity of exposition. Proof techniques and proofs are presented slowly and clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book employs a versatile approach to the use of algebraic ideas. Instructors who wish to put this material into a broader context may do so, though the author introduces these concepts in a non-essential way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA final chapter discusses algebraic systems (like the Gaussian integers) presuming no previous exposure to abstract algebra. Studying general systems helps students to realize unique factorization into primes is a more subtle idea than may at first appear; students will find this chapter interesting, fun and quite accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplications of number theory include several sections on cryptography and other applications to further interest instructors and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Hunacek\u003c\/strong\u003e has advanced degrees in both mathematics (Ph.D., Rutgers University) and law (J.D., Drake University Law School).
