Get ready to crack some of math’s coolest secrets as we dive deep into the elegant logic and surprising patterns of Number Theory. This course turns big ideas, such as primes, modular arithmetic, and Diophantine puzzles, into hands-on challenges, logic games, and real-world applications. You’ll experiment, conjecture, argue, and prove as you uncover the hidden structures that make numbers tick. Emphasis is placed on mathematical reasoning, proof techniques, and creative approaches to challenging problems. If you love patterns, brain-bending problems, and the thrill of discovering something unexpected, this is your summer playground.
