WEBWelcome to Number Theory! This book is an introduction to the theory and practice of the integers, especially positive integers – the numbers. We focus on connecting it to many areas of mathematics and dynamic, computer-assisted interaction. Let’s explore! Carl Friedrich Gauss, a great mathematician of the nineteenth century, is
WEBNumber Theory 2 / 34 What is the most natural way of doing arithmetic in Z n? Given two elements x,y ∈Z n, we can add, subtract or multiply them as integers, and then the result will be congruent to one of the elements in Z n. Example: 6+7 =1 (mod 12), 3×20 =10 (mod 50), 12−14 =16 (mod 18).

WEBCarl Friedrich Gauss. Number theory, known to Gauss as “arithmetic,” studies the properties of the integers: . . . − 3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . Although the integers are familiar, and their properties might therefore seem simple, it is instead a very deep subject.
The Higher Arithmetic: An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers
WEBMar 10, 2021 · Written to be accessible to the general reader, this classic book is also ideal for undergraduate courses on number theory, and covers all the necessary material clearly and succinctly.
WEBNumber Theory is one of the oldest and deepest Mathematical disciplines. In the broadest possible sense Number Theory is the study of the arithmetic properties of Z, the integers.
WEBNumber theory is the study of the integers. Number theory is right at the core of math-ematics; even Ug the Caveman surely had some grasp of the integers— at least the posi-tive ones. In fact, the integers are so elementary that one might ask, “What’s to study?” There’s 0, there’s 1, 2, 3 and so on, and there’s the negatives.
WEB• Many questions in number theory which are very simple to state are in fact very challenging to solve. In fact, unlike a course in Calculus or Linear Algebra, where
WEBThis book is an introduction to Number Theory from a more geometric point of view than is usual for the subject, inspired by the idea that pictures are often a great aid to understanding.
