These are notes on elementary number theory; that is, the part of number theory which does not involves methods from abstract algebra or complex variables. From 1858 to . He also edited the works of Gauss and Riemann. One of the important functions in number theory, the divisor function, is de- noted by d, d: N !N, and it is de ned by d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n2N.

But often it is quite useful also to admit other This is a textbook about classical elementary number theory and elliptic curves. .g and rationals Q = a b ja,b 2Z, b 6= 0. Number theoryis the study of the integers. Number theory has its roots in the study of the properties of the natural numbers N = f1,2,3,. . The chapters correspond to those in Strayer, but I have made a few small changes in the subdvision of the chapters. 1.1.1. There is also a . course we develop mathematical logic using elementary set theory as given, just as one would do with other branches of mathematics, like group theory or probability theory. If there exists an integer m such An undergraduate course in elementary number theory studies Z and primes{for instance, there are in nitely many primes, even of the form 4k+ 3, 8k+ 5, In this part, PART2, Lecture Notes 7-10 cover material on linear congruences, Chinese Remainder theorem, and Pythagorean triples. Research in Number Theory is an international, peer-reviewed Hybrid Journal covering the scope of the mathematical disciplines of Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry.

Then y2 =(z x)(z+x) with z x 2; z+x 2 relatively prime . The material is mostly elementary. Two main themes of number theory: study of individual numbers, solution of equations in the integers. Use the PDF if you want to print it. This note covers the following topics: Pythagorean Triples, The Primes, The greatest common divisor, the lowest common multiple and the Euclidean Algorithm, Linear Diophantine Equations, The Extended Euclidean Algorithm and Linear Modular Congruences, Modular Inverses and the Chinese Remainder Theorem, The Proof of Hensel's Lemma, Multiplicative . The reader may want to read the abstract/introduction of PART1. This is a textbook about classical elementary number theory and elliptic curves. Contents 1 Survey 3 2 Distribution of primes: A short fairy tale 4 3 Rings 9 . .g and various "extensions" thereof, beginning with the integers Z = f. . The first part discusses elementary topics such as primes, factorization, continued fractions, and quadratic forms, in the context of cryptography, computation, and deep open research problems. Lecture Notes on Number Theory Number theory is the study of 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. The equation x2 +y2 = z2, solution 1: May assume x;y;z pairwise relatively prime. CONJECTURE 3 . Let a and b be integers. Contents I Formal Power Series 1 . 0.4.1. Analytic Number Theory: count the solutions. Number theory is concerned with the set Z of integers. Math 780: Elementary Number Theory A postcript version of the course description can be obtained below. We know that b= bby the re exivity property. 6;28;496;8128 are perfect number. 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.

Motivation. Let a+ b= b+ c, then a= c. Proof. At the time, this author taught an undergraduate course in elementary number theory. in these printed lecture notes (however, if you only aim for a passing grade, it should not be necessary to know the proofs) 12. Homew ork Let I R Q denote the set of irrational n um . For centuries number theory was considered to be the "purest" kind of mathematics in which knowledge was revered for its own sake; in fact, number theorists took great pride that their work had no foreseeable . 4 CHAPTER 1. Research in Number Theory . In this project we will learn elementary set theory from the original historical sources by two key gures in the development of set theory, Georg Cantor (1845{1918) and Richard Dedekind (1831 . Rearranging using the commutative and associative properties we have a+ b+ ( b) = c+ b+ ( b). Show less. More formal approaches can be found all over the net, e.g:Victor Shoup, A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra. Given an integer n set s(n) = djn d. Call n decient, perfect or abundant if s(n) is less than, equal to, or larger than, 2n, respectively. License restriction claimed by W. Edwin Clark. I built a PDF version of these notes.

This leads directly to the rst two parts of this course, of which the following may serve as a brief outline . A comparison with the. . Algebraic Number Theory: study individual solutions. For those of you new to abstract mathematics elementary does not mean simple (though much of the material Instructors Notes What Is It Elemen tary Num b er Theory is the study of n um b ers and in particular the study of the set of p ositiv ein tegers Do es elemen tary mean easy No Example Consider a p ositiv ein . - Georg Cantor This chapter introduces set theory, mathematical in-duction, and formalizes the notion of mathematical functions. By the adding equals axiom, we may add this to the identity de ned above. It is the longest studied branch of mathematics, with major contributions from ancient civilizations worldwide. Textbook: Joseph Silverman, A friendly introduction to number theory, 4th edition. ISBN-13: 978-0321816191. Once you have a good feel for this topic, it is easy to add rigour. For instance, we have seen that d(16) = 5 and d(2016) = 36. DEFINITION 1. Analytic number theory provides some powerful tools to study prime numbers, and most of our current (still rather limited) knowledge of primes Number Theory 1 / 34 1Number Theory I'm taking a loose informal approach, since that was how I learned. this course some years before and whose excellent set of lecture notes helped me to plan out this course and served as a basis for these present notes . This is PART2 of a two-part series. Problem sheet 3 and Solutions to Problem sheet 3. This is a course in algebraic number theory.
