This book contains many of the great theorems in this subject: Cauchy's polygonal number theorem, Linnik's theorem on sums of cubes, Hilbert's proof of Waring's problem, the Hardy-Littlewood asymptotic formula for the number of representations of an integer as the sum of positive kth UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0815/96011745-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0815/96011745-t.html ER -
