• an excellent introductory book
  before finally selecting this book for reading i 've spent a few hours in the library browsing through some number theory books. Coming from a a different background electical & computer engineer, I had no notion at all of number theory. I like his way of writing with the embedded historical notes and furthermore the proofs of the theorem and their chronological order particularly in the second chapter. I have to admit that I comment on the previous version but new versions are supposed to improve. It... more info

• Rigorous and not too hard
  
  This is a textbook about Elementary Number Theory, where "elementary" does not
  mean "simple" or "beginning", but rather those portions of the mathematics of
  integers that do not rely on analysis (infinitesmal calculus).
  Number theory allows many different orderings of topics, without omitting
  proofs. I found Burton's order to be easy to follow. Many results in number
  theory follow easily from results in abstract algebra or linear algebra.
  The author does not depend... more info

• A Worthy Number Theory Text
  We used this book in an number theory course I took recently. Burton is a skilled writer, and his book is extremely easy to read even for those devoid of "mathematical maturity". There is a student solutions manual, but I recommend that you abstain from buying it. Many of the exercises have generous hints provided. In fact, Burton probably overdoes it in the hint department. Some of the exercises are ruined that way. Nonetheless, Burton provides excellent exercise sets. Some of the problems are trivial,... more info

• as a start.. perfect
  I bought this book to study number theory on my own. (but let me say I had great knowledge about the material b4 I got into it). I studied the first three chapters on my own, and it was great experience, but then I had to stop cuz I did not have any free time to continue. From the first three chapters, I rank this book 5 stars!
  This book is awesome, written very rigorously!! Its the right way to write any book in mathematics, and I love it.
