Description

Welcome to a course on Number Theory, better called “Higher Arithmetics” or “Queen of Mathematics”. This course will guide you and enable you to master fundamental topics in Number Theory.

Number theory is the study of patterns, relationships and properties of numbers. Studying numbers is a part theoretical and a part experimental, as mathematicians seek to discover fascinating and unexpected mathematical relationships and properties. In this course, you will explore some of those fascinating mathematical relationships and properties and you will learn essential topics that are in the heart of Mathematics, Computer Science and many other disciplines.

How is the course delivered?

I know visually seeing a problem getting solved is the easiest and the most direct way for a student to learn so I designed the course keeping this in mind. The materials are delivered mostly through videos to make complex subject easy to comprehend. More details on certain lessons are delivered through text files to provide more explanation or examples. The course is taught in plain English, away from cloudy, complicated mathematical jargons and that is to help the student learn the material rather than getting stuck with fancy words.

How can I learn better?

There are quizzes after each section so you can test your knowledge and see how much of the material has sank in. I suggest you go through each lesson several times to better understand the content.

Who this course is for:

Mathematics Computer Science, and IT Students
Anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of Number Theory, aka, Queen of Mathematics.
