Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture will give an introduction to number theory and its applications. We will cover the following: The basic notions of divisor, gcd, lcm, prime numbers, congruences and residue class rings, and ensuing primality tests and divisibility rules, applications in daily life, such as determining the weekday for a given date (e.g., which day of the week was April 1, 2000?) or properties of check digits (e.g., ISBN which is used for books) as well as applications to cryptography.

Assessment and permitted materials

One-hour written examination. Answering several questions students have to reproduce definitions, theorems, lemmas, corollaries and proofs presented in the lectures and have to demonstrate their ability to apply the calculation techniques covered. No aids are permitted. (This includes pocket calculators.)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The grade is determined by the percentage of the points achieved by the student. The detailed allocation of points is given on the examination paper.
Let n denote the percentage achieved by the student.
sehr gut [1]: 87,5% <= n <= 100% / gut [2]: 75% <= n < 87,5% / befriedigend [3]: 62,5% <= n < 75% / genügend [4]: 50% <= n < 62,5% / nicht genügend [5]: n < 50%

Examination topics

At the exam students have to demonstrate their command of the definitions, lemmas, theorems, corollaries and proofs presented in the lectures and their ability to apply the calculation techniques covered.
