In r/K selection theory, selective pressures are hypothesised to drive evolution in one of two generalized directions: r- or K-selection. These terms, r and K, are drawn from standard ecological algebra as illustrated in the simplified Verhulst model of population dynamics: = (−) where N is the population, r is the maximum growth rate, K is the carrying capacity of the local environment, and. Through its engaging and unusual problems, this book demonstrates methods of reasoning necessary for learning number theory. Every technique is followed by problems (as well as detailed hints and solutions) that apply theorems immediately, so readers can solve a variety of abstract problems in a systematic, creative : Ellina Grigorieva.

Elementary Number Theory (Dudley) provides a very readable introduction including practice problems with answers in the back of the book. It is also published by Dover which means it is going to be very cheap (right now it is $ on Amazon). It'. This course is an elementary introduction to number theory with no algebraic prerequisites. Topics covered include primes, congruences, quadratic reciprocity, diophantine equations, irrational numbers, continued fractions, and partitions.
A Selection of Problems in the Theory of Numbers focuses on mathematical problems within the boundaries of geometry and arithmetic, including an introduction to prime numbers. This book discusses the conjecture of Goldbach; hypothesis of Gilbreath; decomposition of a natural number into prime factors; simple theorem of Fermat; and Lagrange's.

The heart of Mathematics is its problems. Paul Halmos Number Theory is a beautiful branch of Mathematics. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of interesting problems in elementary Number Theory. Many of the problems are mathematical competition problems from all over the world like IMO, APMO, APMC, Putnam and many others.
Here and there some of the problems might use certain properties of the complex numbers. A note on the topic selection. I tried to cover most Number Theory that is useful in contests. I also wrote notes (which I have not transcribed) dealing with primitive roots, quadratic reciprocity, diophantine equations, and the geometry of Size: KB.
For example, here are some problems in number theory that remain unsolved. (Recall that a prime number is an integer greater than 1 whose only positive factors are 1 and the number itself.) Note that these problems are simple to state — just because a topic is accessibile does not mean that it is easy.
" Problems in Elementary Number Theory" presents problems and their solutions in five specific areas of this branch of mathe matics: divisibility of numbers, relatively prime numbers, arithmetic progressions, prime and composite numbers, and Diophantic equations.
There is, in addition, a section of miscellaneous problems. The scene then shifts back to numbers — the real numbers, complex numbers, p-adic numbers, quadratic field extensions, transcendental numbers, and constructible numbers. Algebraic methods are again used to enhance these chapters.
The book then ends with a chapter on geometry from the point of view of real inner product spaces. This book is written for the student in mathematics. Its goal is to give a view of the theory of numbers, of the problems with which this theory deals, and of the methods that are used. We have avoided that style which gives a systematic development of the apparatus and have used instead a freer style, in which the problems and the methods of solution are closely interwoven.5/5(1).
Number theory has a long and distinguished history and the concepts and problems relating to the subject have been instrumental in the foundation of much of mathematics. In this book, Professor Baker describes the rudiments of number theory in a concise, simple and direct.
manner. “It is a matter for considerable regret that Fermat, who cultivated the theory of numbers with so much success, did not leave us with the proofs of the theorems he truth, Messrs Euler and Lagrange, who have not disdained this kind of research, have proved most of these theorems, and have even substituted extensive theories for the isolated propositions of Fermat.
The theory of numbers: a text and source book of problems by Andrew Adler and John E. Coury, published in by Jones and Bartlett. This book is somewhat unusual in its approach in that it presents the material of our course through problems.
In the spirit of The Book of the One Thousand and One Nights, the authors offer problems in number theory in a way that entices the reader to immediately attack the next r a novice or an experienced mathematician, anyone fascinated by numbers will find a great variety of problems—some simple, others more complex—that will provide them with a.

It grew out of undergrad-uate courses that the author taught at Harvard, UC San Diego, and the University of Washington. The systematic study of .Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.
Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection", contrasting it with artificial selection, which in his view is intentional, whereas natural selection is not.”God made the integers, all else is the work of man.” Leopold Kronecker. ii.
