SET THEORY AND LOGIC

Rudiments of pure mathematics. Logic gives the language and the rules upon which correct reasoning is based. It develops the learner’s ability to verify the correctness of arguments. On the other hand, set theory acts as a basic tool for all other branches of Mathematics. It is in itself a complex mathematical network. In Set Theory, the learner gets to apply the skills that they had learned in logic as they verify theorems. Topics include fundamentals of logic, arguments, quantification, methods of proof, algebra of sets, relations, and functions.

NUMBER THEORY

The theory of number is concerned, at least its elementary aspect, with the properties of integers, more particularly with positive integers. It gives simple account of classical number theory such as Divisibility Theory, Diophantine Equation, Primes and their Distribution, Theory of Congruence. Fermat’s Theorem, Continued Fractions, some Number Theoretic Functions, and Primitive Roots and Indices. Also, it imparts some historical background in which the subject evolves. Thus, the integral of this course requires the student’s active participation, for nobody can learn number theory without solving problems. The computational problems develop basic techniques and test understanding of concepts, while those of theoretical in nature give practice in constructing proofs.
