Topics may include, but are not limited to, Dirichlet's theorem, quadratic forms and the Fifteen Theorem, geometry of numbers, and number theory in polynomial rings over finite fields. Exercises will be given to familiarize students with the presented material, and some lecture time will be devoted to discussion of their solutions. Knowledge of algebra and number theory at the level of 18.702 and 18.781 is assumed.
