This was my very first textbook, For my very first class at Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University -San Marcos). The class was an honors class (Elementary Number Theory). The text Should be used in conjunction with Herstein's magnum opus, Abstract Algebra. It is NOT however,very good for persons who are absolutely novice, neophyte to Number Theory. LeVeque assumes some introduction or mastery with real analysis , number systems, and point-set topology.
This book adds abstract algebra in one of its chapters and all terms used are defined and examples are given, and the book is intended to be self-contained in this respect.
