Features: This book is written based on the author's many years of teaching experience and research achievements. In addition to the basic content typically included in elementary number theory textbooks, it also covers cubic and quartic reciprocity laws, preliminary algebraic number theory, and fundamental knowledge of certain indefinite equations over finite fields. The second edition also includes content on primality testing and integer factorization. While introducing well-known classical results, the author also pays attention to introducing new proof methods and recent developments, and strives to present their applications. The second edition of the book remains divided into two volumes. The first five chapters of the first volume can be used as teaching material for elementary number theory courses, while the sixth chapter of the first volume and the second volume can be used as content for elective courses. This book can be used as a textbook or reference book for students and postgraduate students in teaching majors, computer majors, and fields such as information security, digital signal processing, and combinatorics. It can also be used as a reference for teachers and researchers engaged in the aforementioned fields.
