Education facts
Code: 2MA406
In this course we study properties of the integers without using tools from other mathematical diciplines as algebra and analysis. Divisability, prime numbers and congruences are fundamental concepts in the course. By using these we study properties of arithmetic functions, quadratic residues and primitive roots. In the course theory and applications are combined. Among the applications we find, cryptography, coding and random number generation.
