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 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
