Abstract
- The article is a review of two books by John Stillwell: "Algebraic Number Theory for Beginners: Following a Path From Euclid to Noether" and "The Story of Proof: Logic and the History of Mathematics." The reviewer acknowledges that Stillwell's works may not be directly relevant to modeling and applied mathematics, but praises his writing skills. The review discusses the content and structure of "Algebraic Number Theory for Beginners," noting that it may not be suitable for beginners due to unclear prerequisites and a lack of depth in certain topics. The reviewer also briefly mentions the overlap between algebraic number theory and elementary number theory. The review concludes with a brief mention of "The Story of Proof," describing it as a senior-level book on logic and the history of mathematics. [Extracted from the article]
