Series Details
About
This course is devoted to number theory. Although this topic is not covered in school math, it's often used in contest math or in research math. No special knowledge is required -- we will cover all basic definitions and topics.
P.S. I planned sessions only for one week, but in several days I'll add other sessions.
Tutor Qualifications
I had been doing advanced math for seven years; participated in Ross Math Program (two times) and Stanford University Math Camp Program II.
