Experimental Introduction to Number Theory, Hardcover by Hutz, Benjamin, ISBN 1470430975, ISBN-13 9781470430979, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Hutz presents a textbook for an undergraduate course in elementary number theory from a computational perspective. In addition to introducing students to the standard topics in elementary number theory, he also discusses the formulation of conjectures from experimental data. He begins each topic with a question to be answered, followed by some experimental data and, eventually, a statement and proof of a theorem. His topics are integers, modular arithmetic, quadratic reciprocity and primitive roots, secrets, arithmetic functions, algebraic numbers, rational and irrational numbers, diophantine equations, elliptic curves, dynamical systems, and polynomials.
