emAn Introduction to the Theory of Numbersem by G. H. Hardy and E. M. Wright is found on the reading list of virtually all elementary number theory courses and is widely regarded as the primary and classic text in elementary number theory. Developed under the guidance of D. R. Heath-Brown, this Sixth Edition of emAn Introduction to the Theory of Numbersem has been extensively revised and updated to guide today's students through the key milestones and developments in number theory. pUpdates include a chapter by J. H. Silverman on one of the most important developments in number theory -- modular elliptic curves and their role in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem -- a foreword by A. Wiles, and comprehensively updated end-of-chapter notes detailing the key developments in number theory. Suggestions for further reading are also included for the more avid reader. pThe text retains the style and clarity of previous editions making it highly suitable for undergraduates in mathematics from t
