Download or read book An Invitation to Modern Number Theory written by Steven J. Miller and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a manner accessible to beginning undergraduates, An Invitation to Modern Number Theory introduces many of the central problems, conjectures, results, and techniques of the field, such as the Riemann Hypothesis, Roth's Theorem, the Circle Method, and Random Matrix Theory. Showing how experiments are used to test conjectures and prove theorems, the book allows students to do original work on such problems, often using little more than calculus (though there are numerous remarks for those with deeper backgrounds). It shows students what number theory theorems are used for and what led to them and suggests problems for further research. Steven Miller and Ramin Takloo-Bighash introduce the problems and the computational skills required to numerically investigate them, providing background material (from probability to statistics to Fourier analysis) whenever necessary. They guide students through a variety of problems, ranging from basic number theory, cryptography, and Goldbach's Problem, to the algebraic structures of numbers and continued fractions, showing connections between these subjects and encouraging students to study them further. In addition, this is the first undergraduate book to explore Random Matrix Theory, which has recently become a powerful tool for predicting answers in number theory. Providing exercises, references to the background literature, and Web links to previous student research projects, An Invitation to Modern Number Theory can be used to teach a research seminar or a lecture class.
Download or read book Steps into Analytic Number Theory written by Paul Pollack and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This problem book gathers together 15 problem sets on analytic number theory that can be profitably approached by anyone from advanced high school students to those pursuing graduate studies. It emerged from a 5-week course taught by the first author as part of the 2019 Ross/Asia Mathematics Program held from July 7 to August 9 in Zhenjiang, China. While it is recommended that the reader has a solid background in mathematical problem solving (as from training for mathematical contests), no possession of advanced subject-matter knowledge is assumed. Most of the solutions require nothing more than elementary number theory and a good grasp of calculus. Problems touch at key topics like the value-distribution of arithmetic functions, the distribution of prime numbers, the distribution of squares and nonsquares modulo a prime number, Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions, and more. This book is suitable for any student with a special interest in developing problem-solving skills in analytic number theory. It will be an invaluable aid to lecturers and students as a supplementary text for introductory Analytic Number Theory courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Download or read book Elementary Number Theory written by Gove Effinger and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary Number Theory, Gove Effinger, Gary L. Mullen This text is intended to be used as an undergraduate introduction to the theory of numbers. The authors have been immersed in this area of mathematics for many years and hope that this text will inspire students (and instructors) to study, understand, and come to love this truly beautiful subject. Each chapter, after an introduction, develops a new topic clearly broken out in sections which include theoretical material together with numerous examples, each worked out in considerable detail. At the end of each chapter, after a summary of the topic, there are a number of solved problems, also worked out in detail, followed by a set of supplementary problems. These latter problems give students a chance to test their own understanding of the material; solutions to some but not all of them complete the chapter. The first eight chapters discuss some standard material in elementary number theory. The remaining chapters discuss topics which might be considered a bit more advanced. The text closes with a chapter on Open Problems in Number Theory. Students (and of course instructors) are strongly encouraged to study this chapter carefully and fully realize that not all mathematical issues and problems have been resolved! There is still much to be learned and many questions to be answered in mathematics in general and in number theory in particular.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the fascinating world of elementary number theory, a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and relationships of numbers, especially the integers. This book is designed to introduce readers to the beauty and utility of number theory through a collection of problems and their solutions. Whether you are a student, educator, or enthusiast, this book aims to enhance your understanding of number theory in an engaging and accessible manner. Number theory is often considered the queen of mathematics due to its ancient origins and pure nature. It is a field that has captivated mathematicians for centuries, from the early discoveries of Euclid and Diophantus to the groundbreaking work of Fermat, Euler, Gauss, and beyond. The allure of number theory lies not only in its rich history but also in its applicability to modern-day cryptography, computer science, and problem-solving. This book is structured to cater to a wide audience, from beginners to those with some background in number theory. The problems presented range from simple exercises that reinforce basic concepts to more challenging questions that stimulate deeper thinking and exploration. Each problem is carefully selected and crafted to illustrate a particular aspect of number theory, with solutions provided to guide the reader through the thought process and techniques involved. The journey through this book begins with the fundamentals of divisibility, primes, and the Euclidean algorithm, gradually progressing to more complex topics such as congruences, and Diophantine equations. Along the way, readers will encounter famous theorems and conjectures that have shaped the field, including the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Fermat's Little Theorem, and Wilson's theorem. Our goal is not only to solve problems but also to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the elegance of mathematical concepts. We encourage readers to actively engage with the material, to explore beyond the solutions provided, and to discover the joy of uncovering truths for themselves. In preparing this book, we have drawn upon a wealth of sources, including classic texts and contemporary research, to ensure a comprehensive and enriching experience. We are grateful to the many mathematicians whose work has inspired and informed these pages, and we hope to pass on a fraction of their passion for number theory to our readers. Whether you are embarking on this journey out of curiosity, academic interest, or the pursuit of mathematical beauty, we welcome you. May this book serve as a valuable resource and companion as you explore the intriguing world of elementary number theory.

Download or read book Elementary Matrix Theory written by Howard Eves and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The usefulness of matrix theory as a tool in disciplines ranging from quantum mechanics to psychometrics is widely recognized, and courses in matrix theory are increasingly a standard part of the undergraduate curriculum. This outstanding text offers an unusual introduction to matrix theory at the undergraduate level. Unlike most texts dealing with the topic, which tend to remain on an abstract level, Dr. Eves' book employs a concrete elementary approach, avoiding abstraction until the final chapter. This practical method renders the text especially accessible to students of physics, engineering, business and the social sciences, as well as math majors. Although the treatment is fundamental — no previous courses in abstract algebra are required — it is also flexible: each chapter includes special material for advanced students interested in deeper study or application of the theory. The book begins with preliminary remarks that set the stage for the author's concrete approach to matrix theory and the consideration of matrices as hypercomplex numbers. Dr. Eves then goes on to cover fundamental concepts and operations, equivalence, determinants, matrices with polynomial elements, similarity and congruence. A final optional chapter considers matrix theory from a generalized or abstract viewpoint, extending it to arbitrary number rings and fields, vector spaces and linear transformations of vector spaces. The author's concluding remarks direct the interested student to possible avenues of further study in matrix theory, while an extensive bibliography rounds out the book. Students of matrix theory will especially appreciate the many excellent problems (solutions not provided) included in each chapter, which are not just routine calculation exercises, but involve proof and extension of the concepts and material of the text. Scientists, engineers, economists and others whose work involves this important area of mathematics, will welcome the variety of special types of matrices and determinants discussed, which make the book not only a comprehensive introduction to the field, but a valuable resource and reference work.
Download or read book An Introduction to Applied Matrix Analysis written by Xiao Qing Jin and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that most problems in science and engineering eventually progress into matrix problems. This book gives an elementary introduction to applied matrix theory and it also includes some new results obtained in recent years. The book consists of eight chapters. It includes perturbation and error analysis; the conjugate gradient method for solving linear systems; preconditioning techniques; and least squares algorithms based on orthogonal transformations, etc. The last two chapters include some latest development in the area. In Chap. 7, we construct optimal preconditioners for functions of matrices. More precisely, let f be a function of matrices. Given a matrix A, there are two choices of constructing optimal preconditioners for f(A). Properties of these preconditioners are studied for different functions. In Chap. 8, we study the Bottcher–Wenzel conjecture and discuss related problems. This is a textbook for senior undergraduate or junior graduate students majoring in science and engineering. The material is accessible to students who, in various disciplines, have basic linear algebra, calculus, numerical analysis, and computing knowledge. The book is also useful to researchers in computational science who are interested in applied matrix theory.

Download or read book Problems in Algebraic Number Theory written by Jody Esmonde and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that Ramanujan taught himself mathematics by systematically through 6000 problems! of Carr's Synopsis of Elementary Results working in Pure and Applied Mathematics. Freeman Dyson in his Disturbing the Universe describes the mathematical days of his youth when he spent his summer months working through hundreds of problems in differential equa tions. If we look back at our own mathematical development, we can certify that problem solving plays an important role in the training of the research mind. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the ability to do research is essentially the art of asking the "right" questions. I suppose P6lya summarized this in his famous dictum: if you can't solve a problem, then there is an easier problem you can't solve - find it! This book is a collection of about 500 problems in algebraic number theory. They are systematically arranged to reveal the evolution of concepts and ideas of the subject. All of the problems are completely solved and no doubt, the solutions may not all be the "optimal" ones. However, we feel that the exposition facilitates independent study. Indeed, any student with the usual background of undergraduate algebra should be able to work through these problems on his/her own. It is our conviction that the knowledge gained by such a journey is more valuable than an abstract "Bourbaki-style" treatment of the subject.
