MATH 251: Number Theory

Number theory is the study of numbers and their properties. In this course, you'll explore topics such as prime numbers, modular arithmetic, Diophantine equations, and cryptography. Along the way, you'll develop problem-solving skills, get introduced to mathematical proof, and develop some computational proficiency with Sage Math. This course is ideal for students interested in abstract reasoning and its applications in computer science, cryptography, and other fields.
