Solving the Pell Equation
Pell’s Equation is a very simple Diophantine equation that has been known to math-
ematicians for over 2000 years. Even today research involving this equation contin-
ues to be very active, as can be seen by the publication of at least 150 articles related to
this equation over the past decade. However, very few modern books have been pub-
lished on Pell’s Equation, and this will be the first to give a historical development of
the equation, as well as to develop the necessary tools for solving the equation. The
authors provide a friendly introduction for advanced undergraduates to the delights of
algebraic number theory via Pell’s Equation. The only prerequisites are a basic knowl-
edge of elementary number theory and abstract algebra. There are also numerous ref-
erences and notes for those who wish to follow up on various topics.... more on http://
