Abstract
Number theory has fascinated both the amateur and the professional for a longer time than any other branch of mathematics, so that much of it is now of considerable technical difficulty. However, there are more unsolved problems than ever before, and though many of these are unlikely to be solved in the next generation, this probably won’t deter people from trying. They are so numerous that they have already filled more than one volume: the present book is just a personal sample.
