Number Theory: Lecture 24

In which we conclude our study of methods of factorising large numbers, and, indeed, the course.

Number Theory: Lecture 23

In which we encounter some methods for factorising a large number.

Number Theory: Lecture 22

In which we continue our examination of various sorts of pseudoprime.

Number Theory: Lecture 21

In which we learn a little more about solutions to Pell’s equation, and start thinking about primality testing.

Number Theory: Lecture 20

In which we find a link between continued fractions and Pell’s equation.

Number Theory: Lecture 19

In which we explore infinite continued fractions.

Number Theory: Lecture 18

In which we start our study of Diophantine approximation and meet continued fractions.

Number Theory: Lecture 17

In which we gain some further insight into the distribution of the primes.

Number Theory: Lecture 16

In which we encounter the Prime Number Theorem.

Number Theory: Lecture 15

In which we meet the Riemann zeta function and start to explore what it can tell us about prime numbers.
