[QUOTE=Uncwilly;204207]You have shown far more respect for the help that you have gotten than many others have in the past. I think, that other than the off topic items, this has been one of the sanest and most well behaved thread of this sort. I think that you have paid attention to the help of others.

I also think that Bob has done well.:bow: Often times those that are unlearned cause him to react a bit strongly.[/QUOTE]

I must second this post. It looks like Tomer might actually come out of this thread wiser than when he entered. ([i]Fingers crossed...[/i])

Is that your conjecture? :wink:

What do you mean by wiser?

Silverman,
I am going to buy a number theory book (what is your suggestion?)
I want to tell you what I have to make sure you will give me a name of a book that is fitting my ability:
Chaum books (complex numbers, Infinitesimal calculus) which I am not using.
"Discrete mathematics" by Nati Liniel and Michal Parnas, which I use often.
I read books as "Fermat's Last Theorem" by simon Singh.
I read some papers about prime numbers (but not really much).

I know what it is wiser, just didn't understand why does he ask if I became more wiser and by what (mathematics or English or maybe manners)?

I believe that I already answered this question........by D. Shanks

If you want alternatives I will have to wait until I get home tonight.
I will need to check which books might be appropriate for someone
at your level and most of my books are at home.

I understand, thank you verry much.
I just wanted to know if that book you are talking about isn't for higher level then mine.

You should be able to read it.

It's not a very modern treatment, but if you can find a copy of Underwood Dudley's [i]Number Theory[/i] it would certainly be easy enough.

Hugh Edgar's "A first course in number theory" is also good for beginners.
