Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

  • Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
  • Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
  • Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
  • Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.


MTH 351: Number Theory

3 credits

Study the elementary arithmetic of the integers (prime numbers, factorization, congruences, diophantine equations). Use modular arithmetic to explore tests for primality and other properties of the integers. Conclude with classical theory on quadratic reciprocity. Connect the study of numbers to practical applications such as public key cryptography.
