[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).

[QUOTE=blob100;204312]Silverman,
I am going to buy a number theory book (what is your suggestion?) Tomer[/QUOTE] 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. |
[QUOTE=blob100;204334]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.[/QUOTE] You should be able to read it. |

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