Studying Recommended Number Theory Textbooks?

AI Thread Summary
Recommended textbooks for independent study in Number Theory include "Elementary Number Theory" by Jones and Jones, which offers exercises and answers for self-assessment. The preference for physical textbooks is emphasized, as they provide a more engaging learning experience. A strong foundation in Number Theory is sought to facilitate the understanding of more advanced topics in the field.

Does anyone know any recommended Number Theory textbooks for independent study? I have a few lecture notes/eBooks, but I always prefer having a physical textbook which I can read and learn from.

I would prefer a textbook with exercises + answers, so I can check if my answers are correct. I'm also looking for a textbook which will give a strong foundation for learning more advanced Number Theory topics later on.

Thanks,

Harry

I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
