Description

For courses in Elementary Number Theory for math majors, for mathematics education students, and for Computer Science students.

 

This introductory undergraduate text is designed to entice a wide variety of majors into learning some mathematics, while teaching them to think mathematically at the same time. Starting with nothing more than basic high school algebra, the reader is gradually led from basic algebra to the point of actively performing mathematical research while getting a glimpse of current mathematical frontiers. The writing style is informal and includes many numerical examples, which are analyzed for patterns and used to make conjectures. Emphasis is on the methods used for proving theorems rather than on specific results.

描述

這本針對數學主修、數學教育學生以及計算機科學學生的初級數論課程的入門本科教材,旨在吸引各種專業的學生學習數學,同時教導他們數學思考。從基本的高中代數開始,讀者逐步從基本代數進入到積極進行數學研究的階段,並窺探當前數學的前沿。寫作風格非正式,包含許多數值範例,這些範例被分析以尋找模式並用於提出猜想。重點在於證明定理所使用的方法,而非具體的結果。
