This book will provide an educational and entertaining excursion into number theory for the general reader who has had no more than high school mathematics, as well as for the more advanced mathematician. The authors explain new uses of number theory and present fresh approaches to older problems, proceeding on the premise that there is no mystery if mathematical problems are attacked correctly. They believe that questions cannot be answered unless they are properly asked.
