       | I read this book as a first-year undergrad. His style inspired me
       | to go after rigour and proof and was a good start to serious
       | mathematics. I always loved Hardy's work and Hardy and Wright's
       | number theory text was also very nice through my PhD in
       | algebra/number theory. I found Hardy's book much nicer than the
       | contemporary calculus texts with irrelevant pictures and modern-
       | day examples. Just straight math! Not for everyone, but it has
       | classical, austere appeal for those who enjoy such things.

       | One of my favourite texts. One of those that I found influential

       | Even for younger students I think it can be great introduction to
       | more formal approaches, as well as a taste for the austere.
