The theory of numbers is the oldest and the most fundamental mathematical discipline. Despite the old age, it is one of the most active research areas of mathematics due to two main reasons. Firstly, the advent of fast computers has changed Number Theory profoundly and made it in some ways almost an experimental discipline. Secondly, new important areas of applications, such as cryptography have emerged. Some of the applications of Number Theory will be considered in this course.
