Biographical introduction included Robert D, Carmichael's thin volume is an engaging introduction to the theory of numbers, a subject area that Carl Friederich Gauss called the "Queen of Mathematics." In this book, readers will find chapters that outline the basics of number theory, and which put far more emphasis on developing the skill of thinking mathematically than on calculation or the parsing of complex expressions. Indeed, these chapters and their exercises require a working knowledge of basic arithmetic and little else beyond a desire to explore the subject and develop the analytical thinking skills that are valuable in areas far beyond mathematics.
