but honestly, you should have at least a couple semesters' worth of mathematical proofs and logic to get some benefit from reading it. i had the background when i took the class the book is from and i had to drop it because i didn't have enough math proofs background to succeed. 
it's incredibly interesting stuff, but you should work your way up to it, imho.

)

Number theory holds a concept called "cyclic numbers."

Number THEORY is great fun, but too many folks make math too tedious, I'm afraid.

You tend to get cyclic repeats when dividing by primes
