Summer Graduate-Level Courses for Teachers: Mathematics
Prerequisite: M212 or equivalent
Based on the thinking of Gauss, Fermat, and a host of others, number theory reaches back to the earliest history of mathematics and forward to the cutting edge of current research. In this fun and intellectually challenging course, students will rely on their ingenuity as they explore:
• numbers and their representation
• divisibility and factorization
• primes and their distribution
• number theoretic functions
• congruences
• primitive roots
• diophantine equations
• quadratic residues
• sums of squares
This course will be offered both on campus and online. Teachers who are unable to come to Bloomington can take the course online at any one of the nine regional educational service centers located throughout Indiana. For more information about the service center locations, go to: www.escnet.k12.in.us
Teachers who are part of the Advanced College Project, or who are within a couple of courses of meeting ACP certification requirements, may have their tuition covered by the ACP program.
