Description for Famous Functions in Number Theory
Paperback. Introduces readers to the use of formal algebra in number theory. Through numerical experiments, participants learn how to use polynomial algebra as a bookkeeping mechanism that allows them to count divisors, build multiplicative functions, and compile multiplicative functions in a certain way that produces new ones. Series: IAS/PCMI- The Teacher Program Series. Num Pages: 224 pages. BIC Classification: JNKC; PBH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178. Weight in Grams: 525.
