Course Title:
Number Theory
Course Number:
X_400632
Course Description:
- The student is able to perform basic number theoretic calculations
(including congruence arithmetic, primes, continued fractions algorithm,
arithmetic functions, Jacobi symbols, constructions of rational points
on conic sections and cubic curves from other rational points) to solve
concrete problems.
- The student knows some central applications, open problems, and
related directions in number theory (including factorization,
cryptography, abc-conjecture, Mason-Stothers theorem) and can analyze
their consequences for specific situations.
- The student knows fundamental number theoretic concepts and theorems
(including primitive roots, quadratic reciprocity, Diophantine
equations, some algebraic number theory, continued fractions) and can
solve problems/create proofs about and with those in explicit
situations.
