MATH 549: Introduction to Number Theory
3
Number theory is a branch of mathematics that involves the study of integer properties. Topics covered include factorization, prime numbers, continued fractions and congruences as well as more sophisticated tools, such as quadratic reciprocity, Diophantine equations and number theoretic functions. However, many results and open questions in number theory can be understood by those without an extensive background in mathematics. Additional topics might include Fermat's Last Theorem, twin primes, Fibonacci numbers and perfect numbers. 349/549
