I am studying number theory from David Burton's book elementary analysis and second chapter on primes, in that exercise I had no idea how to start attempting questions on primes. The first chapter was ok though. Am I doing something wrong here ? This is first time I am doing number theory by myself. Should I look for some other book ?
Thanks

Finding Burton's elementery number theory tough, any lower level book suggestion
