| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2667 A 200-level course in a topic in mathematics. Fall 2024: An introduction to number theory with a heavy focus on computation and algorithms. We will explore properties of integers and their relationships through primarily computational techniques. Throughout, we will emphasize both theoretical understanding and practical application. Topics will include primality testing, arithmetic functions, complexity, Diophantine equations, and investigating conjectures. We will be using Python in this course, but prior programming experience is not needed. ; Prerequisite: MATH 121 or permission from instructor; Lottery Preference: Math majors, then math/stat minors; Enrollment Limit: 25.00 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) |
