Topology of Numbers
by Allen Hatcher
Publisher: Cornell University 2014
Number of pages: 122
Description:
An introductory textbook on elementary number theory from a geometric point of view, as opposed to the usual strictly algebraic approach. A fair amount of the book is devoted to studying Conway's topographs associated to quadratic forms in two variables.
