内容简介

数论有着悠久和卓越的历史，与这门学科有关的概念和问题在数学的基础上起到了重要作用。在这本书中，Baker教授用简单明了且直接的方式描述了数论的基本原理。虽然大部分的文本在内容上是经典的，囊括许多指南，以进一步研究，这将刺激读者钻研大量的文学致力于这个主题。这本书是基于贝克教授在剑桥大学的演讲教材，是本科生的读物。

Number theory has a long and distinguished history and the concepts and problems relating to the subject have been instrumental in the foundation of much of mathematics. In this book, Professor Baker describes the rudiments of number theory in a concise, simple and direct manner. Though most of the text is classical in content, he includes many guides to further study which will stimulate the reader to delve into the great wealth of literature devoted to the subject. The book is based on Professor Baker's lectures given at the University of Cambridge and is intended for undergraduate students of mathematics.

作者介绍

艾伦·贝克(Alan Baker)是一名英国数学家，以他在数论中的有效方法，特别是那些由超验理论产生的方法而闻名。1970年，31岁的他获得了菲尔兹奖。他的学术生涯开始于伦敦大学学院的学生时期，后来在剑桥大学就职。1970年秋，他在高级研究所做访问学者，成为了剑桥大学三一学院的研究员。他的兴趣是数论、超越、对数形式、有效方法等。2012年，他成为了美国数学学会的成员。

Alan Baker was an English mathematician, known for his work on effective methods in Number theory, in particular those arising from transcendence theory. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1970, at age 31. His academic career started as a student of Harold Davenport, at University College London and later at Cambridge. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in the fall of 1970. He is a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. His interests were in number theory, transcendence, logarithmic form, effective methods, Diophantine geometry and Diophantine analysis. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
