Number theory has numerous applications in different branches of discrete mathematics and thus in theoretical computer science (in cryptography, coding theory, complexity theory, combinatorics, etc.). The aim of this course is to teach the foundations of number theory up to such level that the students are able to understand the existing applications, as well as potentially discover new ones. The course tasks are: to learn the algebraic foundations necessary for number theory studies (commutative groups, rings, integral domains, fields, ideals), to refresh the knowledge of the properties of divisibility, to learn the Euclidean algorithm and its applications in solving diverse number theory problems (e.g. related with chinese remainder theorem), the notion of primitive root, its usage, the problems related with prime numbers (testing primality, density of primes), quadratic and power residues, Legendre and Jacobi symbols, finite fields and polynomial problems related with them

The study of young people's daily activities and socio-spatial behaviour helps to understand the characteristics of the location, exclusion and marginalisation of different groups in society.
