This book is written for undergraduates who wish to learn some basic results in analytic number theory. It covers topics such as Bertrand's Postulate, the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet's Theorem of primes in arithmetic progression.

The materials in this book are based on A Hidebrand's 1991 lectures delivered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the author's course conducted at the National University of Singapore from 2001 to 2008.

This textbook presents an elementary introduction to number theory and its different aspects: approximation of real numbers, irrationality and transcendence problems, continued fractions, diophantine equations, quadratic forms, arithmetical functions and algebraic number theory.

Clear, concise, and self-contained, the topics are covered in 12 chapters with more than 200 solved exercises. The textbook may be used by undergraduates and graduate students, as well as high school mathematics teachers. More generally, it will be suitable for all those who are interested in number theory, the...
