The majority of students who take courses in number theory are mathematics majors who will not become number theorists. Many of them will, however, teach mathematics at the high school or junior college level, and this book is intended for those students learning to teach, In add...ition to a careful presentation of the standard material usually taught in a first course in elementary number theory, this book includes a chapter on quadratic fields which the author has designed to make students think about some of the obvious concepts they have taken for granted earlier. The book also includes a large number of exercises, many of which are nonstandard.

Master the tools of MATLAB through hands-on examples Shows How to Solve Math Problems Using MATLAB The mathematical software MATLAB (R) integrates computation, visualization, and programming to produce a powerful tool for a number of different tasks in mathematics. Focusing on th...e MATLAB toolboxes especially dedicated to science, finance, and engineering, MATLAB (R) with Applications to Engineering, Physics and Finance explains how to perform complex mathematical tasks with relatively simple programs. This versatile book is accessible enough for novices and users with only a fundamental knowledge of MATLAB, yet covers many sophisticated concepts to make it helpful for experienced users as well. The author first introduces the basics of MATLAB, describing simple functions such as differentiation, integration, and plotting. He then addresses advanced topics, including programming, producing executables, publishing results directly from MATLAB programs, and creating graphical user interfaces. The text also presents examples of Simulink (R) that highlight the advantages of using this software package for system modeling and simulation. The applications-dedicated chapters at the end of the book explore the use of MATLAB in digital signal processing, chemical and food engineering, astronomy, optics, financial derivatives, and much more.
