Elementary Number Theory and Its Applications

Number theory has long been a favorite subject for students and teachers of mathematics. It is a classical subject with a reputation for being the 'purest' part of mathematics, yet recent developments in cryptology and computer science are based on elementary number theory. 

This book is the first text to integrate these important applications of elementary number theory with the traditional topics covered in an introductory number theory course. This book is suitable as a text in an undergraduate number theory course at any level.
