From the reviews:
„In short, this book is a very valuable tool for any student/coach interested in preparing for mathematics competitions, especially the International Mathematical Olympiad. College students participating in the Putnam competition might also find quite a few interesting problems. Moreover, any course in number theory could be supplemented with this book and could use some of the references included. Even research mathematicians working in number theory will find this book of value in their pursuits.“ -MAA Online
„The names of the authors sound familiar for teachers of mathematics and mathematicians who use books of these types … . I am sure about the success of this book. It is going to be a ‘bestseller’. It can be useful for high school students preparing for contests, and for teachers helping them all over the world. I am also reliant on being able to insert some excellent problems of the book into the syllabus of number theory coursesat university level.“ (József Kosztolányi, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 73, 2007)
“The book starts with a gentle introduction to number theory. It serves for a training of the participants of the U. S. International Mathematical Olympiad. … The 104 problems are carefully selected. … The solutions are also carefully presented.” (J. Schoissengeier, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 156 (3), March, 2009)
