Excursions in Number Theory, Algebra, and Analysis

Kenneth Ireland [1937-1991] was Professor of Mathematics at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. Before UNB, he held positions at Johns Hopkins, Brandeis, Brown, Bowdoin, and a visiting membership in the Institute for Advanced Study. Known for his broad interests and active involvement in all areas of departmental life, he had a lasting impact on generations of students as a teacher and mentor. His widely acclaimed book with Michael Rosen, A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory, appears in the series Graduate Texts in Mathematics.
