No mathematical background beyond elementary algebra and plane geometry is necessary to appreciate the clear and simple explanations, which are augmented by more than 80 drawings. 1963 edition.Synopsis
Drawn from Introduction to Higher Mathematics, this book explains the theory of numbers—which considers whole numbers and the relationships among them—and revisits the theorems collected in Elements by Euclid around 300 B.C.
