Book Description
As the title suggests, Discovering Number Theory encourages students to figure out many of the important concepts and theorems of number theory for themselves. While the content is similar to other one-semester undergraduate texts on the subject, the organization and presentation of the material revolves around computer activities. With the help of interactive computer software, students work on research questions before being exposed to the final polished theorems and proofs. By actively participating in the development of course topics they develop a solid understanding of the material and gain valuable insights into the realities of mathematical research.
