Number Theory is a branch of Mathematics dealing with the properties of numbers, particularly the integers. It has several sub-fields including algebraic, computational and analytic number theories.
Glossary
- Natural Numbers: All non-negative integers
- Prime Numbers: Natural positive numbers with only 2 different natural divisors
- Fibonacci Sequence: Series of numbers beginning with 0 and 1 where any following number is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers
- Fibonacci Number: Any number that appears in the Fibonacci Sequence
- Integer Sequence: Any series of integers, examples include a list of prime numbers and the Fibonacci Sequence
