Advanced Number Theory
Advanced Number Theory
A senior tutorial on some topics in advanced elementary number theory and an introduction to analytic number theory. In this course we will review key areas of elementary number theory and abstract algebra followed by the study of integer partitions, continued fractions, rational approximations of irrationals, primes and primality testing, the average order of magnitude of several number theoretic functions, the Basel problem, Bernoulli numbers, and the Riemann zeta function. (MATH 0241 or MATH 0302) 3 hrs. sem.
