Barnes J. Nice Numbers

Springer International Publishing, Switzerland, 2016. — 331 p. — ISBN: 3319468308This book is based on lectures given originally at Reading University and more recently at Oxford as part of the Continuing Education program of Oxford University in England. In a sense it is a sequel to Gems of Geometry (now in its second edition) and which is also based on lectures given at Reading and Oxford. Having given the geometry lectures a few times, it was suggested that I should develop another course based on aspects of numbers. I was extremely busy at the time updating my book on the Ada programming language so settled on a short course of just five lectures entitled Nice and Noughty (sic) Numbers. However, as the time approached I was still too busy and so the course was kindly given by Aruna Hardy. The next year, the pressure of life abated and I was able to gave a full ten lecture course.Measures
