Abstract

J E Littlewood (1885-1977) was a British mathematician well known for his joint work with G H Hardy on Waring's problem and the development of the circle method. In the first quarter of the 20th century, they created a school of analysis considered the best in the world. Littlewood firmly believed that research should be offset by a certain amount of teaching. In this exposition, we will highlight several notable results obtained by Littlewood in the area of number theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
