analysis, measure theory and abstract algebra is required. The exercises are care-fully chosen to broaden the understanding of the concepts. Moreover, these notes shed light on analytic number theory, a subject that is rarely seen or approached by undergraduate students. One of the unique characteristics of these notes is the

Elementary number theory. The term elementary generally denotes a method that does not use complex analysis. For example, the prime number theorem was first proven using complex analysis in 1896, but an elementary proof was found only in 1949 by Erdős and Selberg.
This course is an elementary introduction to number theory with no algebraic prerequisites. Topics covered include primes, congruences, quadratic reciprocity, diophantine equations, irrational numbers, continued fractions, and partitions.
So what is "arithmetic," or number theory? Simply stated, number theory is concerned with questions about and properties of the integers \[\dots, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\nonumber \] and closely-related numbers.
In this section, we discuss some basic definitions of terms related to the elementary number theory, including even and odd, decimal and Base-n notation, divisibility, floor and ceilings, div and mod,…
Overview. Authors: Gareth A. Jones, J. Mary Jones. The essential guide to number theory for undergraduates. Distinguishing features include discussions of the Riemann Zeta Function and Riemann Hypothesis. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras.
This book, which presupposes familiarity only with the most elementary concepts of arithmetic (divisibility properties, greatest common divisor, etc.), is an expanded version of a series of lectures for graduate students on elementary number theory.
