Like other introductions to number theory, this one includes the usual
curtsy to divisibility theory, the bow to congruence, and the little
chat with quadratic reciprocity. It also includes proofs of results such
as Lagrange's Four Square Theorem, the theorem behind Lucas's test for
perfect numbers, the theorem that a regular n-gon is constructible
just in case phi(n) is a power of 2, the fact that the circle cannot
be squared, Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions,
the Prime Number Theorem, and Rademacher's partition theorem.
We have made the proofs of these theorems as elementary as possible.
Unique to The Queen of Mathematics are its presentations of the topic
of palindromic simple continued fractions, an elementary solution of
Lucas's square pyramid problem, Baker's solution for simultaneous Fermat
equations, an elementary proof of Fermat's polygonal number conjecture,
and the Lambek-Moser-Wild theorem.
