What Are the Best Number Theory Books for Various Levels of Expertise?

AI Thread Summary
Suggestions for number theory references include "Prime Numbers: A Computational Perspective" by Carl Pomerance, which is highly regarded. Other recommended texts are "Number Theory for Computing" by Yan, "A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra" by Shoup, and "Number Theory with Computer Applications" by Kumanduri. Additionally, a notable German reference is "Algorithmische Zahlentheorie" by Forster, though it may be harder to find. These resources cater to those with a foundational understanding of elementary number theory and algebra, offering insights into computational aspects of the field.

Does anyone have suggestions for number theory references? I'm already familiar with elementary number theory and have some algebra background, but I'm not sure what kind of number theory I'm interested in yet. Thanks!

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
