What Is a Good Introduction to Primes in Number Theory?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking accessible resources for an introduction to number theory, specifically focusing on prime numbers, including Euler's proof of the infinitude of primes and Goldbach's conjecture. The individual has a background in calculus and is looking for materials that build from foundational concepts. Suggestions include searching for introductory number theory PDFs, which are abundant online and typically require only basic mathematical knowledge. A clarification was made to emphasize the need for resources specifically related to primes within number theory.

Greetings,
I am looking for a accesable introduction to the field of number theory that leads up to primes eulers proof of infinite primes, goldbach proof of inifinite primes and their deriviations(the deriviations are the most important and should be clear if possible) and so on. I have a knowledge of caculus1-3(integrals,differentials,sums and convergency tests...), so if I am lacking essential knowledge please mention this.

Thanks for any clarifications.

If you google "number theory pdf" you'll find more texts introducing you to number theory than you could imagine. I can't vouch for any of them, but they will generally assume only a basic mathematical knowledge and will be very much from the ground up.

Thanks PeroK the saylor PDF was helpfull.

I think I should specify. A introduction on primes in numbertheory would be more acurate. Thanks for any helpfull suggestions.
 
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
