Now into its Eighth edition, The Higher Arithmetic introduces the classic concepts and theorems of number theory in a way that does not require the reader to have an in-depth knowledge of the theory of numbers The theory of numbers is considered to be the purest branch of pure mathematics and is also one of the most highly active and engaging areas of mathematics today. Since earlier editions, additional material written by J. H. Davenport has been added, on topics such as Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, computers & number theory, and primality testing. Written to be accessible to the general reader, this classic book is also ideal for undergraduate courses on number theory, and covers all the necessary material clearly and succinctly.

(Although number theorists have sometimes shunned and even...)
Although number theorists have sometimes shunned and even disparaged computation in the past, today's applications of number theory to cryptography and computer security demand vast arithmetical computations. These demands have shifted the focus of studies in number theory and have changed attitudes toward computation itself. The important new applications have attracted a great many students to number theory, but the best reason for studying the subject remains what it was when Gauss published his classic Disquisitiones Arithmeticae in 1801: Number theory is the equal of Euclidean geometry--some would say it is superior to Euclidean geometry--as a model of pure, logical, deductive thinking. An arithmetical computation, after all, is the purest form of deductive argument. Higher Arithmetic explains number theory in a way that gives deductive reasoning, including algorithms and computations, the central role. Hands-on experience with the application of algorithms to computational examples enables students to master the fundamental ideas of basic number theory. This is a worthwhile goal for any student of mathematics and an essential one for students interested in the modern applications of number theory. Harold M. Edwards is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at New York University. His previous books are Advanced Calculus (1969, 1980, 1993), Riemann's Zeta Function (1974, 2001), Fermat's Last Theorem (1977), Galois Theory (1984), Divisor Theory (1990), Linear Algebra (1995), and Essays in Constructive Mathematics (2005). For his masterly mathematical exposition he was awarded a Steele Prize as well as a Whiteman Prize by the American Mathematical Society.

This book, "Arithmetic for High Schools: Containing the Elementary and the Higher Principles and Applications of the Science", by James B. Dodd, is a replication of a book originally published before 1859. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.

A man bought 3 pecks of apples for $tv, how much was that a peck? 22. If of $ is divided by 7, what will be the quotient 23. A market-woman sold 5 quarts of raspberries for %W: what was that a quart? 24. If I pay £-f$ for 9 pair of hose, how much is that a pair? 25. Divide i of if by 3. Divide i of if by 5. 26. A man having 20 quarts of strawberries, sold i of them for if of a guinea: what was that a quart? 27. If you give l-yij-for 8 yards of ribbon, how much do you pay per yard? 28. What is the quotient of-ffy divided by 12 1 29. A man paid of a pound sterling for 6 days boftrdj how much was that per day? 30. How is a fraction divided by a whole number? II.--Dividing a Fraction by a Fraction. 1. How many razors, at $f apiece, can be bought for $ J? Suggestion.--When fractions have a common denominator, the numerator ol the dividend is divided by the numerator of the divisor, in the same manner as one whole number is divided by another; for, the parts of a unit expressed by the numer&tori are of the same value. Analysis.--Since $£ will buy 1 razor, &f will buy m many razors as $J are contained times in; and 8 fourths are contained in 6 fourths 2 times. Therefore, at &§-apiece, $f will buy 2 razors. 2. Joseph had-f of an orange, and gave § of an orange to each of his classmates: how many classmates had lie? 3. If a man spends fij-a day, how long will it take him to spend? 4. How many times is f contained in #-? In? In VI In V! 5. How long will i-f-ton of hay last a horse, if he eat f of a ton in a month? 6. If a man has-ff acre of land, and cuts it up into building lots, each containing iV of an acre, how many lots will he have?...

Operation..2).84 We divide as in whole numbers, and point off 4.2 Ans. one decimal figure in the quotient. Obs. The reason for pointing off one decimal figure in the quotient may be thus explained. We have seen in the multiplication of decimals, that the product has as 90any decimal figures, as th» multiplier and multiplicand v'Art 324.) Now since the dividend is equal to the product of the divisor and quotient, (Art. 112, it follows that the dividend must have as many decimals as the divisor and quotient together; consequently, as the dividend has two decimals, and the divisor but one, we must point off one in the quotient. In like manner it may be shown universally, that 329. The quotient must have as many decimal figures, as the decimal places in the dividend exceed those in the divisor; that is, 'he decimal places in the divisor and quotient together, mutt $ qual in number to those in the dividend. 2. What is the quotient of 3.775 divided by 2.5! Ans. 1.51. 3. What is the quotient of.0072 divided by 2.4. Operation. Since the dividend has three decimals 2.4).0072(.003 Ans. more than the divisor, the quotient must 72 have three decimals. But as it has bui one figure, we prefix two ciphers to it to make up the deficiency. Obs. It will be noticed that 3, the first figure of the quotient, denotes thousandths; also the product of 2, the units figure of the divisor, into the first quotient figure, is written under the thousandths in the dividend. Hence, The first figure of the quotient is of the same order, as thai figure of the dividend under which is placed the product of the units of the divisor into the first q...
