Title: The Disquisitiones (Hardcover)
Review: Before reading (i.e. studying) this book, I thought Hardy's and Apostol's books on the theory of numbers were the best... Those are very good indeed but Gauss' treatment is that of a MASTER !Once you get used to the symbols, the journey is thrilling : you're dealing with a genius, willing to guide you...Don't throw your money away in buying the paperback edition, buy the hardcover edition where most of the errors have been corrected and which is much better structured and provides ample space for annotations... i.e. allow yourself a gift and enjoy it !
