I found it to be one of the best textbooks I've used so far. The exposition was clear and easy to digest, with just the right number of clarifications and examples. The exercises were numerous, challenging and illuminating. No background beyond very basic set theory is assumed, and in fact the writer goes very far out of his way to keep his exposition separate from abstract algebra. This is most evident in the chapter on primitive roots. I can't speak for the second half of the book, on additivity, but I can say with certainty that the first nine chapters are worth the effort.

I found it to be one of the best textbooks I've used so far. The exposition was clear and easy to digest, with just the right number of clarifications and examples. The exercises were numerous, challenging and illuminating. No background beyond very basic set theory is assumed, and in fact the writer goes very far out of his way to keep his exposition separate from abstract algebra. This is most evident in the chapter on primitive roots. I can't speak for the second half of the book, on additivity, but I can say with certainty that the first nine chapters are worth the effort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BUEN LIBRO *by A***R on March 8, 2026* EXCELENTE!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might as well be renamed 'Combinatorial Number Theory' *by N***E on February 23, 2012* A few years ago, I read this book by George Andrews of Penn State University into chapter 8 and this 1971 textbook by him already shows his long interest in both combinatorics and number theory. Where I stopped reading was when the author's proofs started being multiple pages long. Here are the titles of the chapters with their starting pages: // PART I Multiplicativity-Divisibility // 1. Basis Representation-3 / 2. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic-12 / 3. Combinatorial and Computational Number Theory-30 / 4. Fundamentals of Congruences-49 / 5. Solving Congruences-58 / 6. Arithmetic Functions-75 / 7. Primitive Roots-93 / 8. Prime Numbers-100 // PART II Quadratic Congruences // 9. Quadratic Residues-115 / 10. Distribution of Quadratic Residues-128 // PART III Additivity // 11. Sums of Squares-141 / 12. Elementary Partition Theory-149 / 13. Partition Generating Functions-160 / 14. Partition Identities-175 // PART IV Geometric Number Theory // 15. Lattice Points-201 / There are four mathematical appendices and the full set of indices after the 15 chapters--213-259. From the complicated table of contents above, one can see a broad sweep of combinatorial number theory. Part I is mostly pretty straight number theory, and that is what I did read. Part III on additivity is almost fully combinatorics more than number theory though. Still the price of this book is quite low to have access to all of this big range of mathematics to pick and choose what is most interesting to any given reader.
