The investigation of three problems, perfect numbers, periodic decimals, and Pythagorean numbers, has given rise to much of elementary number theory. In this book, Daniel Shanks, past editor of Mathematics of Computation, shows how each result leads to further results and conjectures. The outcome is a most exciting and unusual treatment.
This edition contains a new chapter presenting research done between 1962 and 1978, emphasizing results that were achieved with the help of computers.
