Math 356 - Theory of Numbers
|
 |
General Information (Catalog Description)
Properties of the natural numbers, congruences, diophantine equations, and elementary arithmetical functions.
Prerequisite: CALC3.
This prerequisite will be strengthened effective Fall 2009 to Math 300 or permission of the department.
Math 300 (Mathematical Reasoning) or a very good background in mathematical proof is strongly recommended. Students with a strong record in their mathematics courses who have not taken Math 300, but wish to take Number Theory, should request a prerequisite override from the Head Advisor (advisor@math.rutgers.edu).
A separate page gives information about
the textbook and a suggested syllabus.
Instructors in 356 sometimes use a different text and follow a different syllabus. Check the textbook list for additional information.
