Number Theory: Tradition and Modernization (Developments in Mathematics)

This book collects survey and research papers on various topics in number theory. Although the topics and descriptive details appear varied, they are unified by two underlying principles: first, readability, and second, a smooth transition from traditional approaches to modern ones. Thus, on one hand, the traditional approach is presented in great detail, and on the other, the modernization of the methods in number theory is elaborated.
