Number Theory Research Group

Number theory is the study of all mathematics arising from the arithmetic of the ordinary integers. It is at once one of the most ancient disciplines, with integral Pythagorean triples appearing on ancient cuneiform tablets which are thousands of years old, and at the same time one of the most active and modern areas of study including the most famous problems of mathematics such as Fermat's Last Theorem, the Twin Primes Conjecture, the Riemann Hypothesis, and the grand system of conjectures known as the Langlands Program. Modern number theory is now also involved in vital applications through out society including digital communications and security systems.
