| + | #REDIRECT[[Number theory/Advanced]] |
| − | [[Algebraic number theory]] studies number theory from the perspective of [[abstract algebra]]. In particular, heavy use is made of [[ring theory]] and [[Galois theory]]. Algebraic methods are particularly well-suited to studying properties of individual prime numbers. From an algebraic perspective, number theory can perhaps best be described as the study of <math>\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})</math>. Famous problems in algebraic number theory include the [[Birch and Swinnerson-Dyer Conjecture]] and [[Fermat's Last Theorem]]. | |

| − | == Analytic Number Theory ==
| |
| − | [[Analytic number theory]] studies number theory from the perspective of [[calculus]], and in particular [[real analysis]] and [[complex analysis]]. The techniques of [[analysis]] and [[calculus]] are particularly well-suited to studying large-scale properties of prime numbers. The most famous problem in analytic number theory is the [[Riemann Hypothesis]].
