Number Theory What books or materials are needed to understand primitive roots?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking additional resources to understand primitive roots for primes and their existence, with a current reference to "Elementary Number Theory and Its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen. Participants suggest that many introductory number theory or algebra textbooks cover these topics, encouraging the individual to explore various books to find one that aligns with their learning style. The emphasis is on the availability of multiple resources rather than the necessity of finding a specific alternative.

do you know any books, videos, or notes that can help me to understand these topics:
1-primitive roots for primes
2-the existence of primitive roots
I am using right now elementary number theory and its application by Kenneth H. Rosen to understand these topics, do you know another source that can help me?

This one is quite good. Why do you need another one? In any case most introductory number theory or algebra books would have that. Look through some to find one that has style that suits you.
 

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
