Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Lectures on Number Theory is the first of its kind on the subject matter. It covers most of the topics that are standard in a modern first course on number theory, but also includes Dirichlet's famous results on class numbers and primes in arithmetic progressions.
Includes index.
On the divisibility of numbers -- On the congruence of numbers -- On quadratic residues -- On quadratic forms -- Determination of the class number of binary quadratic forms.
Translation of: Vorlesungen uber zahlentheorie.
