This basic introduction to number theory is ideal for those with no previous knowledge of the subject. The main topics of divisibility, congruences, and the distribution of prime numbers are covered. Of particular interest is the inclusion of a proof for one of the most famous results in mathematics, the prime number theorem. With many examples and exercises, and only requiring knowledge of a little calculus and algebra, this book will suit individuals with imagination and interest in following a mathematical argument to its conclusion.
[Hilbert's] style has not the terseness of many of our modem authors in mathematics, which is based on the assumption that printer's labor and paper are costly but the reader's effort and time are not. H. Weyl [143] The purpose of this book is to describe the classical problems in additive number theory and to introduce the circle method and the sieve method, which are the basic analytical and combinatorial tools used to attack these problems. This book is intended for students who want to lel?Ill additive number theory, not for experts who already know it. For this reason, proofs include many "unnecessary" and "obvious" steps; this is by design. The archetypical theorem in additive number t...
This book, based in part on lectures delivered at the 2006 CRM-Clay School on Additive Combinatorics, brings together some of the top researchers in one of the hottest topics in analysis today. This new subject brings together ideas from many different areas to prove some extraordinary results. The book encompasses proceedings from the school, articles on open questions in additive combinatorics, and new research.
Presenting the proceedings of a recently held conference in Provo, Utah, this reference provides original research articles in several different areas of number theory, highlighting the Markoff spectrum.;Detailing the integration of geometric, algebraic, analytic and arithmetic ideas, Number Theory with an Emphasis on the Markoff Spectrum contains refereed contributions on: general problems of diophantine approximation; quadratic forms and their connections with automorphic forms; the modular group and its subgroups; continued fractions; hyperbolic geometry; and the lower part of the Markoff spectrum.;Written by over 30 authorities in the field, this book should be a useful resource for research mathematicians in harmonic analysis, number theory algebra, geometry and probability and graduate students in these disciplines.
Mathematics is kept alive by the appearance of new, unsolved problems. This book provides a steady supply of easily understood, if not easily solved, problems that can be considered in varying depths by mathematicians at all levels of mathematical maturity. This new edition features lists of references to OEIS, Neal Sloane’s Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, at the end of several of the sections.
Many of the best researchers and writers in discrete mathematics come together in a volume inspired by Ron Graham.
This volume documents the contributions presented at The ICRTMPCS II International Conference on Advances in Mathematical and Computational Sciences. Entries focus on modern trends and techniques in branches of pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Highlighting applications in coding theory, cryptography, graph theory, fuzzy theory, variance analysis, data analysis, and sampling theory.
This new edition of Analytic Number Theory for Beginners presents a friendly introduction to analytic number theory for both advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, and offers a comfortable transition between the two levels. The text starts with a review of elementary number theory and continues on to present less commonly covered topics such as multiplicative functions, the floor function, the use of big $O$, little $o$, and Vinogradov notation, as well as summation formulas. Standard advanced topics follow, such as the Dirichlet $L$-function, Dirichlet's Theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions, the Riemann Zeta function, the Prime Number Theorem, and, new in this seco...
For the uninitiated, the Komar-MelaƯmid paintings (their work is a collaboraƯtive effort) no doubt will be a surprise and a delight: it is at once sprightly, intricate, and mystical. Called “Sots” art (for Socialist art), it is a kind of Pop that parodies the propaganda posters and street banners designed for public conƯsumption by Russian officialdom. The Sots subjects from the first show include the stern head of a worker holding his finger to his lips and entitled “Don#x19;t Babble,” several banners with such slogans as “Glory to Labor” and “Our Goal Communism,” and a painting of a “Laika” cigarette pack using as its emƯblem the Soviet dog sent into orbit with “Sputnik II” in 1957.
