WACLAW SIERPINSKI

"250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory" presents problems and their solutions in five specific areas of this branch of mathematics: divisibility of numbers, relatively prime numbers, arithmetic progressions, prime and composite numbers, and Diophantic equations. There is, in addition, a section of miscellaneous problems.

Included are problems on several levels of difficulty-some are relatively easy, others rather complex, and a number so abstruse that they originally were the subject of scientific research and their solutions are of comparatively recent date. All of the solutions are given thoroughly and in detail; they contain information on possible generalizations of the given problem and further indicate unsolved problems associated with the given problem and solution.

This ancillary textbook is intended for everyone interested in number theory. It will be of especial value to instructors and students both as a textbook and a source of reference in mathematics study groups.
