    Welcome to the Number Theory course!

    The first exercise session on Monday will work as a smooth warm up, so please attend! We will be rather speedy when going through the first two chapters of the course book (see Materials), as Chapter 4 is our ultimate major goal. Reading Chapters 1-2 on your own before the lectures is particularly important, if you haven't taken a course in Discrete Mathematics or Abstract Algebra.

    The course consists of ~4 weeks of regular lectures, exercise sessions, and homework. During the last 2-3 weeks, the students will work on a project, and will present their project during the last course week. The final grade is based on the homework grades and the project grade, and a passing grade is needed from both parts. We will discuss the course practices in detail during the first lecture (slides will appear after under Materials).

    ***There is no mandatory attendance on the lecture or exercise sessions, though it is strongly recommended. However, it is important to participate the first lecture. For the project presentations attendance is mandatory in at least 50% of the sessions (rounded upwards in case of odd number of sessions :)).***
