Which topics and theorems do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
Fermat numbers,Mersenne numbers, Fibonacci numbers, Golden section,Binet formula, infinitely many prime of the form..., Pythagorean Triples,Thrm 3.2.1.1, Fermat's two-square thrm, finite simple continuous fraction, Dirichlet's thrm, Dirichlet character, Lemma 3.3.1, Dirichlet L-series,Thrm 3.3.4, Twin primes, Thrm 3.4.1, arithmetic functions, Thrm 3.6.2, Mobius function, and Mobius inversion formula
What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
I expect to see some proofs that use some of the things listed above. There may be a questions asking me to compute a certain finite simple continuous fraction, or compute a Mobius function.
What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam? Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a problem you would like to see worked out in class on Friday.
I need to work on understanding things concerning anything having Dirichlet. I would like to see problem 3.20 from the book done.
Are there topics you are especially interested in studying during the rest of the semester? What are they?
I like things having to do with prime, so I would like to see what other things involve primes.
