Higher Arithmetic par Harold M. Edwards
I mostly just skimmed this book in looking up information on Gaussian Primes for a math paper. It looks mostly very introductory, but is very easy to read for a math book. Unfortunately, not helpful for my math paper.
Essays, my foot; it's mostly impenetrable formalism. Edwards is one of the minority of mathematicians who consider that the subject started going wrong around 1880, when conservatives (vis-à-vis such innovations as completed infinities) like his hero Kronecker lost out to people like Dedekind, Cantor, Weierstrass, and (later) Hilbert. To the meager extent that I'm qualified to have an opinion about constructivism, I disagree with it.
