This text will be a modern introduction to number theory, a course taught at most colleges and universities, primarily to math and c.s. majors, and will place heavy and continuing emphasis on algorithmic aspects of the subject. The language of the algorithms used will be the popular Mathematica, and a comprehensive set of notebooks will be included on a book web site. While the emphasis will be on modern topics like factorization and primality testing techniques, there will be extensive coverage of traditional number theory. Among its features willbe lots of displayed computations, and the inclusion of many computer exercises for students.
