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.

We will get acquainted with each other and will start our series with modular arithmetic. I'll try to answer the following questions: what does it mean a=b mod m? what rules are held with such kind of equation? what is Z_m or F_p?
