History of the Theory of Numbers (Volume III) Quadratic and Higher Forms With A Chapter on the Class Number Hardcover – 7 October 2020

This is a historically important book and a vast undertaking, thoroughly researched and clearly written. The audience would be graduate students or professors of mathematics with interest in math history or quadratic forms. This volume can be read independently of the other volumes. I bought it because I've been reading Gauss' "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae" (1801), and was interested in gaining a greater perspective on the history of quadratic forms, both before and after Gauss. I have been very pleased with Dickson's book. Regarding the physical aspects, it is a high-quality paperback with very good binding, although the type is a bit on the small side, using old-fashioned typesetting that is a bit harder to read than the LaTeX that I've become accustomed to.

EXCELLENT

Great!

Exccellent book on math.
