MAS 4203 Number Theory

Students explore the relationships and formulate conjectures in the areas of divisibility, congruence, Diophantine equations, the Euclidean algorithm, and number theoretic functions. Students learn to develop formal proofs to support these conjectures. Students consider other topics including the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic and classical theorems of number theory.

Students focus on their development of mathematic thinking.
