“The Theory of Numbers” by Leonard Eugene Dickson. Published in 1919, Dickson’s book covers a wide range of topics like divisibility, congruences, prime numbers, Diophantine equations, and quadratic forms. The book had an important role in advancing the study of number theory, and contributing to the development of algebraic number theory. The book presented a systematic approach to the subject and served as a guide and reference for mathematicians in the field of number theory.

“Principia Mathematica” by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. Published between 1910-1913, This three-volume book is monumental for the foundations of mathematics. The book found a formal and logical foundation for mathematics. “Principia Mathematica” achieved this by reducing concepts to a concise set of fundamental statements and principles. The book presented a symbolic notation system and developed a coherent framework to prove mathematical statements. This book had an impact on the philosophy of mathematics and the standardization of mathematical reasoning.

Euclid’s “Elements”, not one, but rather a series of 13 books covering the basic properties of geometry, ratios and proportions, number theory, three dimensional figures, and other pillars of geometry. “Elements” provides a logical presentation of mathematical concepts, aiding in the foundation of geometry and leaving an impact on mathematics and it’s development.
