Number Theory: Exploring Mathematics and Solving Sums

The course introduces you to the topic Number Theory,  a branch of Mathematics that helps to study the set of positive whole numbers, say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,. . . , which are also called the set of natural numbers and sometimes called “higher arithmetic”.

Number theory helps to study the relationships between different sorts of numbers. Natural numbers are separated into a variety of times. Here are some of the familiar and unfamiliar examples with quick number theory introductions.

The definition of number theory states that it is a branch of pure mathematics devoted to the study of natural numbers and integers. It is the study of the set of positive whole numbers usually called the set of natural numbers. This theory is experimental and theoretical. While the experimental number theory leads to questions and suggests different ways to answer them, the theoretical number theory tries to provide a definite answer by solving it.

Number theory will be very useful for individuals preparing for entrances IIT, ISI B.Stat, and B.Math. It is used to find out if a given integer ‘m’ is divisible with the integer ‘n’ and this is used in many divisibility tests. This theory is not only used in Mathematics, but also applied in cryptography, device authentication, websites for e-commerce, coding, security systems, and many more.
